Default My Seibon Parts are here! Now some questions for you guys

Here are some pics . The kit is not installed yet. Im just holding it up with juice bottles or my hands lol. Anyways I tried removing the stock rear diffuser. Took out all the screws and clips its not coming off. Did anyone take it off before? Is it held by the reflector lights in the back? Any write ups on this.

Also , should I paint the chicken fence grill in my seibon diffuser black or leave it silver?

And finally , still figuring out how to put canards on, anyone tried something like this before?

Thanks for your help guys !

Paint the chicken wire black. Plastic dip spray it! I like the diffuser a lot too.
The canards probably need holes drilled into them to bolt them on. Surprise there are no predrilled holes already in them.

I thought the same thing. Had a Lip Spoiler first, then the canards on.

Looks good but I am afraid that the tomato juice bottles are going to drag.

had some seibon parts for my evo, the fit and finish was not good, do your self a favour, and get them clear coated with high quality paint, as the top or gel coating on the seibon pieces tends to fade and leave white fade marks, and for the front splitters get some 3m clear bra put on them and it help from rocks and other garbage on the roads, all this is from experience using seibon parts, if the front splitters are hallow use large washers, as their cf is very brittle and cracks at the drilled holes, also after you drill the holes seal them with some ca glue so they do not start to delaminate, the pieces do look good especially the rear diffuser, a little extra work on them will keep them looking new for a longer time
