Can you remove this diffuser w/o damage to the original bumper and paint?

Yes you can! I've had the Tom's Diffuser and Wald diffuser on my ISF, both installed perfectly and taken off without any sign that it was there.

Is this because you bought a used one? Sorry guys. Never did lips or diffusers before on any car. I apologize about the dumb questions.

Looks great. Does the bottom section flow forward towards the front of the car? or does it end at the bottom?

Yeah, if you get a used one, you'll probably have to remove the existing weather stripping. Most people just don't install one, but if you can get a new one to cover the gap between the diffuser and the bumper then why not.

im waiting for one from lou & modinjapan & want to ask those who've already done install:

to minimize 'gapping' is the included double sided tape sufficient to hold diffuser or should we purchase a different one?

ITS ALREADY CAME WITH DOUBLE SIDE TAPE, AND TAPED ON IT, THOSE STRIP ARE FOR YOU TO SLIDE IT ON WHICHEVER COLOR U CHOOSE. ITS HAS THE GROOVE ON THE STRIP FOR YOU CAN SLIDE ON THE EDGE OF THE DIFFUSER WHICH CONNECT TO THE REAR BUMPER.

Yup! I got him a brand new installation kit so he could reinstall the whole time. He didn't purchase the diffuser from me but he needed the stripping so I got him taken care of. :P
