Finally received Myride diffuser from UPS.... Test fitment at work ...After tapping the lip on the car. The lip have a pretty good fitment... I have a small little gap on the left side, but with the tap holding up right... I am pretty sure it will look much better once it paint and install with 3m double side tape... I would rate the fitment 8.5/10. For anyone who interesting in getting one of this... Redline_Base is the Ebay seller i purchase from... And it seem like many people are buying from them to... I am very happy with outcome and delivery service they offered... Best of all no need to HEAT GUN OR ANYTHING THE LIP IN GOOD SHAPE !!!!


Anyone who like more photo of my lip. I can post it up for preference....

interesting.
I got my piece the otherday, got it installed, and i thought the fitment was a 5/10. Are all u guys experiencing decent fitments 09's and up?

I had gaps everywhere and i couldnt use 3m tape to fix it, i used a whole lot of silicon sealant to glue it to the bumper, and i used the sealant to fill in all the gap. I made it work, but i would not call it good fitment out fo the box, esp the edges, as it looks very tacked on. I also didnt use the screws and brackets that came with it, nothing seemed ti line up correctly.

But value for money, u cant beat it. i think its great and looks awesome on (despite the cheap looking edges).

Can someone experiencing fitment issues take some close up shots of the areas affected?

here mine from Redline_base... the one small gap from tap holding up on the left upper corner.. hopefully you guy can see it.. I find out the bracket that come with the package is used for the rivet into the pre drilled hole on the lip and the hole on the metal bracket is for the screw into the OEM bumper on the bottom. if that make sense to everyone.
