I would think that would make sense because with stock bumper if anything its anti-air flow...

I would think that once a car was moving, the air would pocket in the crevices and allow the rest of the air to flow past it... like water in a pipe series or something, idk tho not my specialty. I dont think the diffuser could do harm, plus the jdm one is almost identical in design

I meant to say without the diffuser, our bumpers seem as if it would catch the wind.

well it's just expected that an item not be damaged and 3 counts can't all be shipping. i mean, the damage on mine is minimal and couldn't effect the benefits of the diffuser. i'm just frustrated because i was in the second to last group to receive mine after paying first and still didn't get all of the diffuser hardware and he didn't bother telling me the cooling plate screws were backordered when i ordered it. it's just kinda off-putting. granted, they're still great products at a great price but i can't even put mine on until i acquire hardware.
