Talking Greetings CL!!! -Diffuser
My names is Shawn, I live in Sacramento Ca! Woo if there's anyone around me willing to help a kid with his car hit me up! Haha. I pretty much wanted to just introduce myself I did notice that the Sacramento Lexus owners aren't as active as they used to be. I currently have stock everything so I think it's time for me to finally start modding my 07 tungsten pearl 250. I have a trunk spoiler installed already and I'm currently having a hard time installing this cheap *** rear diffuser. I've read a lot on the forum about not using 3M tape but I don't have any extra hands to help out or advice. Any tips or pointers to get this ***** on let me know. Anything is appreciated!

I would but I don't think they look clean on a diffuser? The only time I've seen them is on widen fenders.

clean your bumper off before you apply the 3m tape. heat it up with a heat gun or hair dryer to make the glue a little sticker and put it on your bumper. hold it there for a bit and it should stick.
how's the fitment on the diffuser?

How bad is 3m tape after it's been awhile on the paint? Does it strip paint?

I did all that made sure everything is squeaky clean, the I also used adhesive promoter to get that to stick. The only factor I think that could have went wrong is the 2nd time around i rushed it n drove the car to work. As far as fitment, right out the box it's already deformed so I had to use a heating gun and mold it a bit which was the easy part.

And no the 3m doesn't strip the paint.

Use epoxy and it'll stay on. 3M tape won't hold over time and with wind and car washes.
