Default Rear Diffuser

Hey guys quick question.. I bought this car used and noticed after i took it off the lot that the rear diffuser under the bumper was pushed up on the right side where the square pop out is. It has no marks on it at all and I'm assuming the previous owner just maybe backed up onto something and pushed it up. I tried to push it down from the inside but it seems pretty stuck up there. Would this be a fix I could do without purchasing a new one? It's kinda annoying since I've pointed it out.




If i need to get a new one is this the same one we have? I hope the install wouldn't be too hard.

It is not obvious, just leave it as it is.

It's not too noticeable unless you're looking for it but it just is one of those little annoyances lol

Speaking of replacement diffusers, is there an aftermarket one that's like the GS diffuser but with circle cutouts for a traditional exhaust?

You need to take off the whole bumper to replace that piece. I've done it. Its very tedious and annoying. Heres a pic of my new diffuser tho

I actually bought it privately through a friend. Only paid $150 for it which was a steal. But it had few imperfections but im going to paint it gloss black or body match it with my car. Still thinking about it tho
