Exclamation PSA: TRD Diffuser Install [Requires bumper cutting]

Hey all,

Just wanted to post up a quick PSA for all you looking at getting the TRD diffuser. Installing it requires you to cut your bumper as the reflector section and the general shape of the TRD diffuser does not fit over the existing bumper without modification.

I do not understand how no one has posted this important and crucial detail even though there are some who have this piece installed. I will post pics of the install and my thoughts later.

So caveat emptor...

Cheers.


Some photos for y'all.

Pre quad tip:

Mini shoot...
