- Mon Jul 04, 2011 3:32 pm #262208 Yea sorry there isn't any new updates. I haven't been able to get around it, it is pretty much done but I'm having trouble mounting it. I kno imma have to use metal straps and self taping screw to mount it. If anyone has done this diy and found a way to mount it, feel free to finish this DIY for me :thumb:

- Wed Jul 27, 2011 4:58 pm #265227 So yesterday I got around mounting my diffuser and I gotta say it looks legit :thumb:. Sorry I got no pics I didn't have room in my garage to take pics but I will.

So what I ended up doing is cutting about 2-3 inches off the one end opposite of the towhook hole. And then I also used self taping screws and screwed my diffuser against the rear subframe, and also screwed the other side of the diffuser against the bottom of the bumper. I had to make some kind of reinforcement for the diffuser cuz the sheetmetal is thin. U should use a long metal bar mounted horizontally/vert/diagonally to ur diffuser all the way across. I used a home depot yard stick. Don't do what I did that's all I had at the moment lol.

Pics will be posted soon 8)

- Tue Sep 06, 2011 8:46 pm #270618 Yea those are all nice but I don't the advanced skills using composite materials to make those, I wish I did though.

If I were to make one from scratch I would have to make molds and then lay fiberglass or whatever material of choice. Too hard for me
