Diffuser removal (plastic clips)
Having a really interesting time removing the stock diffuser from the bumper cover. The plastic rivets were easy.
What's the secret? Heat gun? I feel like I will break something or scratch the bumper cover paint the way I'm doing it now. Thanks so much! Chris |

After cutting the pop rivets out you reach up inside the diffuser/bumper and manipulate the diffuser clips to unclip them from the bumper while pulling outwards. You are in for a treat with the reinstallation though ... That's a special experience.

Got it done. All I needed was a heat gun and the clips slid right out. Fitment is perfect!
FYI: Dinan's catback does not fit with this diffuser. I will have a Dinan catback in great condition for sale shortly. |
