Thomas, I was able to just take out the 4 bolts around that area and get a wide funnel in there to drain. I also know of a few that have cut that area and some who have no diffuser at all.

i see... i think i'll just cut it and make a modded cover for that hole... or i'll try the funnel... this one is the authentic fiberglass amuse diffuser so im hesitant to cut it... if i had the frp version i could just pull down on it for clearance... after i get this kit where i want it i may do do luck front/rear fenders and focus on going fi.... body work is a pita and not worth it imo

Damn Thomas I think your car is in the shop more then mine. I only got sideskirts left for my kit then I am done I hate dealing with the exterior because you spend all that money then when you get a scratch on it you are pissed.

yeah i feel ya... the only reason is because im not the type to settle for half assed work... this dude claimed he worked on cars in import tuner... he did the evo in tokyo drift and has been in "the game" for 10+ years... problem is... he seems to get lazy towards the end of the project so after taking it to him three times.. i called him and tore him a new poop chute... now he understands that he needs to do his job right so i can focus on more important things... lol on my next project car im going to do a full carbon exterior and make it easy...

Bro I feel you on that. The body shop charged me $200 to prep the kit because it came with cracks in the corner of the headlight area and in the lip. When I come to pick it up there are still cracks in those same areas they said the were gonna fix. Then they use wood screws to hold my plastic underbody shield thing to my bumper. Probably going back to stock after something happens to this one.
