Won't be until tomorrow morning as I'll be stuck at work late. Patience is a virtue

PS: Anyone with a link to a schematic on how the stock diffuser piece is removed?

Looks like it’s just the 6 bolts underneath and then a load of these clips around the top: |

Well, my diffuser is now taking a return trip to China as the postal service disregarded my redelivery request I submitted on Monday evening after the asshole refused to help me when I was a minute after "closing" time.
We'll see how or when I can get another or a refund for this one... The rear spoiler is supposedly going to be delivered again this Friday but given all the issues I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't send that one back to China as well.

So, I opened the dispute for the spoiler a few days ago, haven't heard from AliExpress but today the seller has messaged me to ask if I want them to send it out for a third time!
What to do? : |

Well fellas, it's the moment you've all been waiting for:
I had to fight it a bit and couldn't seem to get the clips to seat properly at this point. Maybe some heat will help when I really have more time.

How does the quality and finish look? And do the parking sensors fit ok? |

The finish isn't flawless, but honestly it's fine in my eyes, it's like our piano black trim which means you can see small scratches easily so be careful when installing. I know where I live it will get scratched but that's ok. Parking sensors fit ok, you have to really push them down to sit flush. Keep in mind the sensor is painted grey but you can't even tell the difference up against the black diffuser even up close. Like I said it was a bit of a pain to get the tabs to pop into the holes on the bumper. Maybe a trim tool would have helped. Any suggestions are appreciated. But hey for an eBay China special....it's not too shabby lol.

I did not have any lube. Thing is when you push on it there is a point of resistance because there is a hard piece behind the bumper. I tried pushing out front he inside but it's tight for your hands to get into. Perhaps the clips are a bit longer that the stock diffuser.
