I might cut the extra threads of the mounting bolts off cause they are now the lowest point of my car and I can just see them hitting something and causing havok. I'm trying to add some more pics but the site is being annoying.

Thanks for the pics and info on installation. I don't like having to cut... thought it would just be a straight up bolt on. I have a single exit 70mm J's Racing Ti exhaust so I hope this diffuser would clear it nicely...

Looks great in carbon by the way! Does it come with that weather strip?

That looks soooo good! What spacers are you running on your rims by the way? So you had to trim some of the bumper off huh...?

Oh so that's what it is... I thought it was a weather strip.

I have been looking for thin weather strips to hide the gap from the less than perfect fitment. Has anyone else had any luck with a similar idea? I was also thinking about using black gasket maker to fill the gap. Like I'd use painter's tape on the diffuser and bumper to lay a very thing bead between the diffuser and bumper. Is that a dumb idea?

I ended up using black gasket maker. I put painters tape on the bumper and diffuser to keep things clean then squeezed the silicone into the gap. Then I wiped it away with my finger. I also used a pencil eraser to try to remove as much as possible. I then used a plastic razor blade to scrape away the excess. I'm happy with how it came out but if there is a pre made rubber one I'd use that. I just wasn't able to find one.
