I'm thinking about pulling the triggers on the Tom's, however, i must admit that this is my first "add on" diffuser. My previous rides had factory installed ones. So naturally i am worried that the because it is only held by 3m tape the tape will peel or crack with time.
Given that I might sell this ride down the lrde also don't want to go the permanent route and glue it.
Can someone with Tom's chime in on the install process and long term durability of the provided adhesive tape.
It’s super simple to install the diffuser. Thru out the edge of the diffuser, you will apply double sided tape, and a rubber molding, and on the bottom of the diffuser it will line up with the existing holes Underneath the bumper which you will need to remove the push clip and line the diffuser with the holes and re install the push clip. DONE!
long term wise, i think you’re be fine with double sided tape as there is no pressure of any sort on the diffuser itself causing it to serperate from the bumper. On another note, many people here with wald spoier (i myself) thats only installed with just double sided tape, and i have yet to here anybody spoiler fallen off yet..haha.. GL
Thanks for the reassurance. I feel more comfident now. Currently I have the carbon fiber exhaust tip covera, do you guys think it would blend too much with the diffuser?
All the diffusers look great in their own design, some with more or less fitment issues. One diffuser that I did not see on here, and even though its not that visually apparent but is the easiest to install based on the company’s website takes a few min and replaces stock directly. It’s by Euroteck http://www.euroteckmotorsports.com/i...t=41&pageid=52.
What interests me is which one is the most functional for the track? this seems to be what Lexus uses for its racing car, wish i could get my hands on that http://www.motorauthority.com/image/...ccr-r-race-car. Is stock good enough? would a front splitter help? looking into upgrading for next season, and want to add upgrades that will improve track performance. Guys that track their cars please chime in on which diffuser you guys use and any noticeable difference from stock?

Who sells Lexon? Do you have to drill holes in the bumper or is it attached via tape?

Also assuming that one has to paint it because its made of plastic?
