Default J's Rear Diffusor Installation on AP2 Bumper

Hey guys, thinking about pickup the the J's rear diffusor, but don't know if there's any shop that can install it on an AP2 rear bumper. Recommendations?

PS. I know that trading for an AP1 bumper would be much easier, but I'd rather stick to my AP2 bumper and try something different.

It will take more mods than just slapping it on, and hopefully the shop that says they could do this, will be experienced.

They don't really share the same look at all so unless someone has one that you can hold up to the car... I think you should look for alternatives. GL

dont you have a single exhuast anyway? just swap to AP1 will look 10x cleaner also .......but you can try it and be different ........just be careful that it doesnt sit too low becuase the ap2 bumper is a lil lower than the AP1 i believe?

^ Its def lower than the AP1 Bumper and you will most likely destroy the diffuser trying to get it to fit the AP2 rear end and look good doing it? Maybe not, but the design does not make it look like an easy task.

Good Luck!

Looking at the install brackets, I don't think its possible at all especially the one fiberglass piece that installs onto the AP1 exhaust cap area. Unless you can get custom brackets and work done...but that in it of itself might not be worth it.

Why not go with the Top Secret Diffuser? They make one especially for the AP2.

after test fitting it on my ap2 bumper this afternoon and looking at the brackets, it doesn't look like it's happening. maybe the ap1 bumper was a good idea afterall, just to save me from the headache.

ps. why not top secret? because ts is ~$1200 and j's is ~$800, plus i just don't like the design for some reason.
