Agreed. :tup:

Going to order the tape now actually. Don't think I can let the tape sit for anything more than 48 hours or so due to work, as opposed to the 72 maximum curing hours. Should be enough though. Hopefully.

Yah, just don't get it wet and push on the diffuser from time to time to ensure contact. Nothing special. :)

I redid mine with VHB tape and the hold is a lot stronger than the supplied tape.

Doesn't it come with screws that go under the car to help support it?

It does, but it can't support the entire weight of it. I think the bolts are there to prevent air from sheering the diffuser off from the bottom.

^comes with 5 torq screws bolts washers.

which tape did you end up getting? the 5952?

Bumping thread for AK. I got the VHB tape from ULine. I think one of the picts have a roll of it. :p

I used probably 10-12ft of the roll.

The reason why I did not buy from one of the cheap vendors on ebay is because some of them would not warrant the quality. I think they were old and past their shelf life.

Anyone know if there's a fit issue going over aftermarket exhausts? I have the HKS and from the pics its looks close, though I am looking @ this on my BB anyone confirm ? :)

I have the F.I. exhaust and was thinking the same thing.

you know you can add spacers to the hanger brackets to lower the exhaust...?

my fujimura muffler was 3mm from the CF when i installed it. added 3mm bushings (6pcs) and got 7-8mm clearance. :p

NewYorkJon34 08-04-2010 06:10 PM

I had to add the spacers already, I am pretty sure I'll be alright.

kenchan 08-04-2010 07:52 PM

Just add more as needed. Should be no issue. :p

Had the diffuser sitting on my floor for a couple of weeks. Decided to not be lazy yesterday and finally put it on. Quick writeup and some pics below.

Pretty easy install. I used 3M VHB 4910 tape (the tape they give you is a joke). I mostly put the tape along the outer edges of the diffuser. Per Kenchan's suggestion, I let the tape settle to the diffuser in the sun before install. While that sat, I went to work removing the factory plastic clip under the read fog light. It honestly looks like an unassuming plastic clip, but don't be fooled, its a pain in the @ss. You need to use some force and good positioning. Once that was off, I carefully put on the diffuser (you don't want to be off and have to constantly adjust because the tape will stick fairly quickly). I screwed in the center with the screw and bolt they provided. I used my own black self-drilling screws for the sides, instead of the flat-point screws they provided.

Overall, I'm pretty pleased. Fitment and carbon fiber quality are pretty good. Letting the diffuser sit until work tomorrow morning to let the 3M tape cure. Anyway, posted some pics below. Oh, and I have the F.I. exhaust and it is a tight fit (maybe 2 millimeters) but there is no contact.

^pretty sick man. I like the CF wing. Saving the loot.
