Which "Waldo style" did you get? I got a SFP from car king and the paint match sucks it's too white for others considering buying it. I also had the wavey body work digger posted in the first post but it's hard to notice the waves once it's installed

You can see the hole here, with the reflectors removed.



There is also two small screws for the bottom of the diffuser on each end that go through the bumper as well.



I used Permatex Ultra Gray High Rigid/ Torque just along the top - where the gaps were.



The rest of the diffuser, I use 3M foam tape.



The RTV sealant has not shrunk, peeled or separated at all for the last year/ including two track days.

Hey, you said the reflectors can be purchased by the highlander? Can you clarify where that is? Thanks

pretty much he means that the red circles are from a toyota higlander or a toyota with those reflectors, I think it was 2.25" in diameter.

This is the one I bought... yes, right out of the box, the white is a lot brighter. Once you let it get exposed to the sun and give it a little bit of time, the color darkens a little bit and its probably a 80% match. As for the wavey body, you could almost feel it if you run your fingers across it. Almost wish I would've went with a CF or a PU one and have it molded/painted. Oh well, funds were tight at the time

So I have placed an order for a wald rear diffuser but I had a couple questions:

The red reflectors - these aren't actual lights are they? I've seen some at least one person who wired them up to their parking lights, but I assume that was done with some aftermarket parts. If they aren't lights, couldn't I snap off the screw and just use double sided tape to secure the reflectors to the diffuser, and I wouldn't need to drill two holes in the middle of the bumper?

I'm planning to use double sided tape and the screws underneath, but I don't see why I would want to drill into the bumper unless these actually light up. The replica wald spoiler is not held on with anything other than tape so I am not sure why the diffuser would have to require anything more. I'd like to be able to remove the diffuser in the event that I sell the car and not have holes in the middle of the bumper.
