Default s4play diffuser

hello guys, just want to ask about this diffuser, i bought one from a fellow CL member(ISfast) , when i try and test fit it, i dont think it aligns with the holes under the car. I thought this is plug and play and i dont need to put holes. Help will be appreciated from s4play and also to the people who installed this. I have a 2010 IS250. Pics are added for reference. Thanks in advance guys and have a good day.

Yes you need to drill holes for it. Or use 3m tape

Please post lots of pics after u install it. I am thinking about getting one from him as well and would love to see how it looks. Is your car stock or is it lowered?

I thought you drill right onto the flat portion of the bumper.

They custom cut mine to 5 fins, fits flush. Sits right where the black plastic spare tire cover is and the painted bumper.

I don't think it will sit flat at the bottom, there is like a fin that's raised.

@apokc do I just screw it on the black plastic at the bottom, will it hold it? Thanks

I have it as well, didn't drill any holes. Just used the screws that came with it and screwed it in after I centered it.

thanks guys, got it figured out.

@rashoodz, prob will not look good as the tom's has a diffuser look already, and the lines will on the tom's will not probably align on the s4play diffuser, just my thought.
