    This really only takes like 5 minutes. Here is what I did.

    Items needed:
    1-RRM Rear Diffuser
    2-Bolts with nuts (included in the diffuser)
    1-Drill
    1- 7/32 Drill Bit
    1- 5/32 Drill Bit
    2- #8-32 X 1 Screws and nuts (found at any local automotive shop)

    Collect your diffuser.

    Remove the bolts that come with it from both ends of the diffuser.

    Align the diffuser where you want it and stick it to your bumper using the supplied double sided tape.

    You will need to drill through your bumper using a 7/32 drill bit, and then push the supplied bolt through your diffuser and bumper and thread on the nut on the opposite side.

    You will need to do this for the other side of the diffuser as well.

    (as you can see in this picture, the diffuser overlaps the exhaust shield a little bit)

    We decided to add some more security to the diffuser, because like the exhaust shield, there were gaps on both sides of the diffuser between the adhesive and the bolts.

    Using a 5/32 drill bit, I drilled through the diffuser and bumper on both sides near the edge.

    Then using the #8-32 X 1 screw, I pushed them through the diffuser and bumper, and tightened them down on the back side with the nut.

    (as you can see, we painted the head of the screw black to help hide it)

    Your diffuser is now installed and secured! Enjoy your sleek new rear end! ;)
