Hmm.. not that bad. I'd honestly would prefer to have one small hole in the bumper, instead of the diffuser. The shop did a really poor job on the fitment, and would look a lot cleaner with the tuck IMO. I'm not a fan of stickers, but if the hole bothers you that much you could always get a decent looking sticker and cover it some how? Not sure how bad or good that would look but just a suggestion.

It would probably have to be a cross forum meet, since there's only a few members that I see in this thread.

Any pics from the meet tonight?

See if you can make the May brunch run in May. That road is a kick in the ****! Few pot holes to look out for but fun none the less.

Check craigslist there are people that will rent them out for like 40 bucks a day or something...

You could also save the 40 bucks and use a baseball bat...

you could also use the handle of a jack... we did that on my friends RX7 and it came out really good... just make sure you heat up the fender, thats the real key to it...

Its the same concept as a fender roller, you dont BEAT the fender with the bat or jack handle lol...

U wedge it in between the wheel and the fender lip and as you heat with the heat gun you start rolling it..lol

Im sure renting a tool would be easier however...Im just impatient and want to get things done asap sometimes lol...i still have to roll my fenders actually...blah...still waiting to buy my RPF1's tho so ill wait
