I waited two months for this to come in and the day it did I went to install it. It fits the car, goes on perfect BUT this is how the exhaust openings look. Obviously thats an issue and the stock the tips. They then told me I need to buy these exhaust tips from them to fit (which I did) but im not sure they are going to fit either. As for the protruding piece of the car thats visible in the exhaust opening, they recommended I cut it out to fit the exhaust. I have no clue what to do lol

You have to cut the bumper and other pieces in order to install it I have the same diffuser trust me it’s worth it if anything you can always get a new bumper

so just cut all the pieces that are shown in the exhaust opening? I have no problem with that as long as the new exhaust tips will fit. it just seems like the exhaust pipes are way lower then the opening of the diffuser

Yeah just cut the pieces that are shown in the diffuser openings and you should be able to fit the new exhaust tips. It looks but it’s not

Awesome man thank you for your help. Also any tips on how you secured it on the car and the use of the 6 metal brackets?

I had a shop install it for me that’s how I know they cut the bumper because they called me before cutting it. They used screws to secure it and the exhaust tips I’ll take a pic for you tomorrow but I’m 100% sure they put them exactly where the oem were hooked up.

Love these diffusers, need to take the dive on one myself 😬 You should have enough play in the exhaust to angle it after cutting the visible excess bumper away, just make sure it’s secure lol. Looks great on the car btw 🙌🏼

@Oyrivera97 @OhhBee just realized that the lower molding I took off the car when I first got it and threw away is needed to fit the carbon front splitter I got. Its $950 lol

Sorry I completely forgot but what do you mean the front spoiler?

The front molding that comes with the car is needed for the front splitter I also purchased. But I got rid of the front lower molding when I got the car lol

I got the same exact one, except it won’t fit correctly because I don’t have the molding piece from the last picture I posted. So I’m trying to find one

That’s weird because I had to remove the one you showed me to install this one that I have on
