Definitely not a fan. It looks like a snow shovel. But to each his own..your car, your mods!

I'm a fan. I think you just need to have a trunk like this to balance out the aggressive bottom: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Walker-Style...VX8bfv&vxp=mtr

Perhaps if the stock chrome exhaust tips can be black, then it will be money! Although I can't find any

2squared, did you ever get the gap on the passenger side of the diffuser fixed?

Yes, the problem was due to a couple of high spots in the middle section. After grinding the high spots, applied new 3M tape, and it fits great now.

Yo 2squared can you walk me through on how to take the original valance out? I've search everywhere on CL even came upon one post but no one answered! I got a day off for new years and hoping i can put mine on! Happy new years all!

Oh nice! I'm happy to hear it was a minor issue. When you get a chance can you post updated pics? I'm still on the fence about ordering one. Thanks and Happy New Year.

Thread is dead and questions not answered. This only means there are problems with this diffuser. Not ordering one anymore.

i bought one and didnt bother even putting it on, there are no mounting points anywhere, they expect you to 3m tape this bull**** everywhere.

Unfortunately, this was the same thing with my Artisan Spirits rear lip. It had mounting points on the underside of the lip where the push clips go in place of the stock "diffuser" but everything else on top was double sided taped.

Seems like this "diffuser" only uses two push clip spots.

I recommend this...

Agreed.

Or if they could tone down the aggressiveness of the diffuser a little bit, it would be a winner.
