You're asking where to take it and get it fitted/installed or where to buy one that fits well? Give the forum threads a good search I believe I've seen quite a few with info on this diffuser.

I find it to be the same. When I got my diffuser, I laid it out in the sun for a day than it form itself back into shape kinda than I prep and sand it before paint than I use a heat gun to kinda get a little more shape back into it and than I test fit it and put it on overnight for it to keep the shape. But that's how I been doing my sides and lip kit.

You can do it yourself. Some have installed theirs with just 3M double sided tape and have had no issues whatsoever. Others with a plastic adhesive named Lord Fusor, and others with some screws and then they either cover them or put some bondo over the screws to hide them. It's preferred to get it molded onto the rear bumper by a shop, so you can completely get rid off any fitment issues and won't worry about it coming off. Downside: Once molded, it becomes one with the rear bumper.

If you do, do it yourself, try and get a heat gun to heat up the plastic and play with the fitment. No diffuser will come 100% spot on. Mine was 7/10, but after 20 min with a heat gun It became closer to 9/10. Also, get a friend to help out. I installed mine myself and it was a pain. Definitely would've been much easier had I had some help.

I installed mine using plastic adhesive, tape, and screws. I tested it by going 100mph+, and it was on there sturdy. Unfortunately, yesterday it got yanked off while going thru some heavily flooded streets. I guess the drag from the water was too much for my install. Nearly lost the bumper as well, so that means my diffuser was on there hard enough to almost also take the bumper with it.
