Hey, I can email you shots if you like? PM your email. Rear fenders had to be cut. I wouldn't have to if I didn't slam the vehicle. What I recommend for this vehicle is 235/35/20 front 275/30/20 rear.

About two inches. Didn't do alignment or anything. Did get negative camber from the back pressure. Had to cut the fenders and still rubbing but don't mind.

Thank you!!!

PM please if you may have any questions.

What's the offset on your wheels and tire size front and rear?

Once you unclip the diffuser..
if you go from under right above the chrome inserts is a bolt with a nut securing the chrome pieces.
Once you remove that the chrome piece easily comes off

I looked and I'm surprised no one on ebay or something make a gloss black replacement, or even a carbon fiber piece would look cool.

Same here! I wish someone made some kind of an insert to close at least a third if the hole where they used to be. I recently removed the chrome pieces and changed my tips to dual burnt tips so now I have a quad exhaust. But the only issue is the hole next to the tips now. Due to the chrome pieces being so big there's an odd space next to the tips on each side. My solution is to go to a body shop and have them mold a piece of fiber glass and fit it in that hole. I'll go sometime this weekend and get a price.
