EVO-R 370Z Rear Diffuser

I tried to install the EVO-R diffuser this weekend (FRP version) & could not get it to fit at all. Without pushing on them, the upper 'corners' were probably 1"

I tried to install the EVO-R diffuser this weekend (FRP version) & could not get it to fit at all. Without pushing on them, the upper 'corners' were probably 1" away from the body. If I really pushed, I could get them flush, but no amount of adhesive or tape is going to hold them. And that's pushing the top in first and then fitting the bottom / screws. It's like it's sprung for lack of a better term. The diffuser is completely flat (if not bowed a bit in the opposite direction). Any ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks for the idea happy! I finally got to lowering the exhaust and your idea worked perfect. Had to use a few extra washers for it to be just right but it worked. Installed the diffuser today and everything looks good. Had to use a double layer of tape (first layer didn't touch the bumper at all) which I thought was strange but overall it looks good. Thanks again!

Current version we all include silicon adhesive. It holds better than 3M double side. It would be easy to install with 2 people on this. One holds the center part and the other screw the sides and use tape to hold it up over night.
