Hahahah well I'll say one thing and that is the box looked a bit beat up so I'm hoping the contents are wrapped well.


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

That box does look like it’s had a bit of a hard time!

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

Someone open it and take a damn picture of it!!

Mine is supposed to be delivered tomorrow and I am already trying to come up with an excuse to leave work early and put it on.

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.

That’s ridiculous, one delivery attempt and they send it back to China! Are they retarded?

Mine says awaiting payment of customs charges
But I've received no payment slip
And I'm out of the country

It is the US Postal Service...so, yeah. Pretty much!

[teaston]

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.

Ok, so it's not a 5 minute job then!

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

I would say not a 5 min job hahaha.

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.

Good news! I guess the old diffuser is easy to get off then?

Did you try lubing the clips?

I am going to give it a go later this afternoon when I get home. Doesn't look bad in your pictures though.

The original isn't hard once you get one side going (obviously screws come out first 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.

Thanks. I'm ocd at times so I'll be attempting to get them completely clipped and flush when I have the time
