Just finished installing this on my Coupe and figured I'd take some pics and give a review.

Initial Impression: KurumaZ has done a great job making these, the fiberglass is some of the best I've ever seen on any aftermarket parts. The diffuser comes in a black gel coat finish. You could install the piece and not even bother to paint it, but the gel coat will scratch easily (mine had a few minor scratches right out of the box).

Fitment: Thankfully, all the holes are already drilled into the diffuser, which saves time and trouble with getting them drilled properly. Before doing any painting or prepwork, I test fit it on the car using the license plate mounting bolts and the 2 clips on the underside. It fit great, so I popped it off and got busy prepping and spraying the primer.

Painting: Since I've had experience painting parts before, I decided to paint this piece myself. Rather than spray it a standard black color, I went with a dark metalic charcoal color (Rustoleum - Black Night Metallic). I layed down 3 coats of black primer, 5 coats of the Metallic Black, and 4 coats of clearcoat.

Pics of the color once completed:


Installation: Installation was a snap. The diffuser has a molded area on the back side where you will place the double sided tape (supplied with the diffuser). Clean the surfaces of the diffuser and car well with a degreaser to remove any wax or contaminants. Peel off the backing and position into place on the car. Once it was on, I attached the 2 license plate bolts, and replaced the 2 plastic clips under the bumper with new bolts. I tried using the clips when I test fit the piece, but they are too short and wouldn't fit properly. There were also 2 smaller holes on the underside, I used 2 small self-tapping screws to attach to the bumper for extra support.

Here you can see the molded area where the tape goes:


Here is the tape installed on the diffuser:
