Default Toms rear diffuser

Hey guys, my Toms rear diffuser will be at my house, ready for install tomorrow and I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for a nice, clean install. Obviously it's pretty straight forward but maybe one or two of you have a tip to make it easier or how much tape to put on it and where. If I decide I don't like how it looks, I'll post it up for sale in the forums. Thanks guys!

Its simple just clean your rear 1st and apply those alcohol package that came with, those long stringy 3m tape is way too long just cut those extra when it goes all around.. those under panel clips are harder then u think to pry it out, use small flat head screw driver. Make sure 2 sides are even... and Voila also is always better if u have someone to help you.

Good luck with your install! I'm sure it will look awesome.

If you don't like it and decide to ship let me know lol.

If I may ask, where did you purchase your diffuser and how long did you wait for it? Thanks!

Yea, for sure i will take pics for you guys. I actually ordered it straight from the USA vendor of all toms parts and I had to wait about two months. He is the one that ships it out to VIP autosalon and lextuners, etc.

So I am ready for install, but I cannot figure out WTF this long black or gray stringy stuff it for.....Any help before I put this thing on?? I assume I rub the 3m primer on before, then put the 3m double sided tape on the diffuser and stick it on the bumper....but where does that stringy black or gray stuff go??

Its weather stripping that seals the top of the diffuser so dust andvother elements dont go inbetween the bumper n diffuser
