Rear Diffuser is finally in!. This took a few hours mainly because I take the rear bumper off completely and fasten the diffuser to bumper. Now to get the mufflers installed (hopefully this weekend)

Yeah that was me. I was killing time while my wife was discussing job offer at near by place. I just came here from SC due to military relocation. I was living in Boston before then.

Any plans for performance mod?
I close on a house around South hill this month and finally have a garage to work on my car when time permits.

Nice! I'll see you around

Mufflers installed! I took to a local muffler shop and had the install it. It was pretty easy install, about a hours worth of work. I'm currently running the car with closed valves just because I don't want it too loud.

I just turned down a job at SEATAC. I would have taken it last year but the longer I'm retired the less I actually want to work!

Oh... What branch and thanks for putting your life on hold!

Thank you acknowledgement. It's good to know that someone appreciate what we do. I am in the Army and honored to be serving.

Ickdeep: do you have foot trunk release module? How did you go about getting M5 diffuser in? Seems like I'll be changing my rear bumper because someone bumped into my car today as I was walking towards it. The motorist was taking off but I was able to catch up to the car. Turns out the driver is uninsured.

My nephew went into the Army and followed my career path (Air Traffic Controller). His sister went into the Air Force. I did my time sailing some of the 7 seas. I hated being gone (the first year we were married I was home only 52 days) but those were some special times!

Yes I DID have the foot trunk release module. After I put in the new diffuser, I wasn't able to use it anymore. But honestly I never used it expect to show off haha.

Looking good.

Where did you get the black 535 emblem? Is it dipped or did you buy them?

I would love some black chrome ones if they exist.

I tried and tired to find black emblems but I just ended up using plasticdip. I've had it on for a while and been holding up. And it was like $10

Ick...i would use some black sealant to close up the minor gaps showing there. used it on my 3d trunk spoiler to close in all the minor gaps. turned out well. but keep in mind i don't think you can remove it once you apply it? i'll be doing the same thing once i put the rear bumper on as my diffuser has some minor gaps showing

Thanks for the hint. I noticed the little gap. Its mainly because I didn't have enough screws to hold the diffuser in place. Next time I have the chance, I'm take the bumper off the finish screwing in the all the tabs.

seems like most of the forum members who bought Ebay diffusers will mention about the minor gaps. i got the idea from them to use either black sealant or you can use black silicon too which can be removed if you decide to change out the diffuser to something else

I'll swing by Home Depot tonight and check it out. The only concern that I have is that I want to be able to remove it if I ever need to (aka not permanent)

which i think than you will want to use the RTV silicon than also, members would also say that this helps hold the diffuser in place since those tabs are pretty cheap
