They both use difussers right? The diffusers are connected over the OEM bumper??? or you have to get an Mtech bumper or M5tech bumper then install the difussers??? I'm confused.

one is Mtech quad diffuser and the other is, I think, Reiger rear quad diffuser. I may be wrong with the name but definitely saw a pic of it on Ebay though.

Didn't see DD's post there before I submit. I'm sure DD knows more about bumpers than I do so go with him.

Thank you sirs, So I do have to get the Mtech rear first before getting the diffuser right?? Is the diffuser easy to install?

DD = Devil Dawg. He's one of those who is willing to drive from No. Cal to So. Cal over night just to get some mods done so he's definitely the one who you want to talk to about modding.

As for the the diffuser, you can contact Trinity Autosports and if they do not have it in stock, I'm sure they can order it for you. Check out the vendor section and either pm or email either Joe or Nerwyll. Have fun modding.

Yes, you need an Mtech bumper for those two diffusers. Trinity should be able to get you one or try Ebay as well. Last time I checked, ebay ones were all carbon fibers.

How much for a Hamann or original Mtech kit if you don't mind me asking?
