No hardware included with the sides or the rear. The only thing it came with was the two adjuster rods. I spent about 40$ on #8 sheet metal screws and 3m tape for the sides. I used some threaded rod, nylok nuts, and some washers to make the bolts for the rear. The diffuser is dimpled where the bolts go you just have to drill it out.

same w/the rear...I don't mind drilling into the body but for the part to not come w/hardware or holes already pre-drilled is unacceptable imo

but the diffuser cost only 499, nearly half of the price of an authentic spoon

I hear ya there but why do they skip out on the holes and mounting hardware...that's part of fit and finish man...5 bills is still nothing to sneeze at...but yes the price is good...just that they should go that extra step

I thinks the holes are not drilled to accomodate different types of bumpers. I pretty sure that the ap2 bumper is different from ap1, spoon, etc. Depending on how you mount it some of the holes may not be needed, or you may have to make different holes. I think it was just coincidence that they lined up with my bumper. Either way it take's about 3 minutes to drill them out so its worth for the price.
