The fitment isn't that bad... If you guys think that's bad than obviously you haven't seen real bad. With a little adjustment it'll line up better and I'll finish it out with a nice rubber moulding between the diffuser and the bumper. The primary concern was the rear gap not the sides... All in all the diffuser looks sick in person as is... Once I do the final touches, it'll look better.

i think it looks great but the only thing that bothers me about the gap is something that happened to a friend of mine who had a diffuser with a gap... at high speeds it would pop out the rivets because of the air going through the gap... do you think anything like that would happen with this one? im very inteersted in this...

Yes I did b/c we needed to remove the canister to get 2 of the brackets in there... Once we reinstalled it, we made sure we didn't have to adjust anything so we didn't have to take off the diffuser again. What I think your seeing is that I need to bring the diffuser over a tad. The diffuser also goes up to the bottom bumper crease which is about 1.5 inches higher... So it looks like there's less bumper and more diffuser.

Yea +1... I just need to align it and add the rubber gaskets to the side to clean it up.
Thanks.... As far as I know they didn't make anything for a G's. The diffuser is a perfect match to my Chargespeed sides and the Chargespeed front, it looks funny with the Top Secret lip on now.

I have a first molding rear diffuser. I bought it and installed it 2 years ago. Fitment is pretty bad, but you can play with it a bit to make it fit a bit better. but the big gaps in the rear is suppose to be there. I thought the one I got was pretty bad, but it seems like its the norm.
As for exhausts. I had a greddy SE and it fit. When i switched it to a fujitsubo rma01, it didn't fit. I had to cut the rear part of the diffuser, for the piping and the can.
If I had to do it again, I probably wouldn't buy this diffuser. However, it is pretty rare, and you will probably never run into another Z on the street with the same setup.
To the OP: looking good

. Adam couldn't remember your info b/c it had been sooo long. I had all kinds of problems with the two brackets that hang off the tubular mounting position. My instructions were horribly bad so you couldn't see where it mounted. It fit alright after I added the gasket and made some adjustments. I originally wanted a HKS True Dual but decided on the Nismo S tune now... I had a Fuji Legalis R that I sold b/c I thought it was the culprit that was keeping me from getting the diffuser on. I really didn't want to cut it as the "extra" HP that I'd get from the TD wasn't worth it to me. I know this is asking a lot but can you get close up pics of the fitment? Especially on the sides... I think it'll be a good idea if you use my thread to give your info too being we're are the only 2 to have these in the US. If you need the part number for the gasket let me know but in the meantime you can go to any Toyota parts dept and request the rubber moulding from any 2003+ Corolla S sideskirt. I would recommend getting 4 of them just in case you measure wrong... it has an adhesive on it too. I'm glad you posted on this thread.

Its all a matter of taste.But to me,too much CF in the rear of your car.The spoiler is way
out of proportion to the car.Also,the diffusser,being CF,visually makes the car look
like its sitting higher than it really is.The gap is not the problem as I see it.Its what you have done to the overall design flow of the Z.Not good...
