I would avoid silicone at all cost, it would make it more permanent and damage the paint if you were to remove the diffuser at a later time.

I've read of people using this as a rubber seal/trim: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Front...3b8000azq00004

The rubber seal definitely gives it a good look.

Holy crap that looks good.
And thanks for the tip on the silicone. I do not want to risk damaging the paint.

Edit: So I ended up buying two rolls of
this here this here
.
I'm not a huge Amazon guy anymore but at least I'll be able to return it if the fitment isn't good. Will post back.

Ecstatic about the purchase. Fitment is a 8.5/10 for me, and a 9.5 or 10 for those better skilled with these types of mods. The weather stripping recommended above was an excellent idea. For me, taking off the bumper & taking the exhaust tips out was essential. Special thanks to everyone in this thread & also to a user on this forum who posted a picture of their ISF from behind (which arguably has the best ISF stance I've ever seen IMHO) years back and put the bug up my *** to do this mod (Hint: "SHAIN").
@04taco , you're up next

Looks very good. What weather stripping did you use?

Thanks.
This stuff right here This stuff right here
per msgs350 #17. I bought two of them but only needed one - PM me your address and I'll mail you my second. Your starting this thread sealed the deal for me. FYI, the bags it came in from Amazon "looked" legit, though some of the film was coming off the stripping inside the bag. Seemed like a weak stick at first, but ended up working with a little bit of precision & patience. And I used 3M 06382 double sided tape all around.

Hello,

Update on my order with group a motor. Still didn’t get the order. Texted them a few times noting in reply. Last reply I got from them was June 3rd. “Everything is done. Waiting to finish polishing” and ever since the 3rd nothing.

Anyone else tried to order with them lately?

Honestly, that is some of the best fitment I've seen for a diffuser on this car. Even the real TOM's v.1 diffuser needs to be sanded a bit and adjusted to properly fit the rear bumper. I have a replica TOM's diffuser from PR or DR (it's been awhile) and it fits like absolute dog s***. I have gaps the side of the Gran Canyon and no weather stripping or liner of any kind will fill in that gap. I'm not to worried about since I daily mine but in the future I'll probably replace it with one from Shine Auto. From what I've seen, they are one of the best companies that make a very good replica of the real deal. At least theirs have a flat spot on the upper rear portions to allow a mounting surface. Mine was straight molded from the exterior of the diffuser which has no mounting surface.
