Anzafin's "SPRING RENOVATION 2010" - Part 5

Alrighty then.....
I finally got the exhaust installed today. The exhaust itself wasn't so hard to do, but the diffuser required some extra work to make it sit right.
The fitment was quite bad at first. Both upper corners had a nasty grin and they couldn't be pushed down because the body of diffuser is made of fiberglass and then wrapped to carbon fiber. It didn't bend at all like ABS plastics do.
So, I had to cut and sand the top edge of it quite a lot. And now the car is covered with fiberglass dust .
But eventually I got it sitting pretty nicely.
Here are just a few pics of the install. I will wash the car possibly tomorrow and take some more pics.

Great Job!
So you did not have to remove the bumper to install the diffuser ? I got the same diffuser and will install mit. How dificult is it to remove the stock diffuser?
Thanks

It's not that hard if you can get yourself under the car. It is held in place by 6 screws and few plastic holders --> 4 screws in the top edge and 2 in both lower corners. The plastic holders are in the lower edge.
