Both the spoiler and diffuser arrived in one piece. Probably won't get a chance to install for a few more days though in the least. The diffuser should be easy but the spoiler I will have to think about regarding the install. The spoiler is all 3M tape and I have a feeling the supplied tape won't be sufficient. I'll also need to properly prep the area to make sure it has a good seal.

I'll try to grab a photo of the spoiler just resting on the car in the next day or two for those interesting in seeing the general fit.

Yes please do. What does the quality of the spoiler look like?

Seems fine. A lot like the splitters actually.

Looks good in the photos, how does it look in person?

It looked good from what I could tell. Hard to get a good look as I had to hold it on so couldn't step to far away. Or when I would it would slide down a bit so then it didn't look proper.

In photo 2 it looks like it ma flush with the painted panel....can you confirm?

I can't wait until it's installed and we get to see better shots

It is pretty flush. Hard to say with install if it will be the same as the 3M tape will of course add some thickness.

Speaking of the 3M tape, does anyone have any suggestions on the best placement for the tape? I was thinking all around the border as well as some across the middle as well.

Diffuser has been installed. Took about 10 minutes. The new one is pretty close to OEM fit with a little bit of gap but not really noticeable unless you are really looking for it.

A few more photos.

Looks really good! I think the parking sensor need pushing in further though, I think it was Frank that said they need pushing in hard to make them flush.

They clicked in and were pushed as far as they could go, as least it seems that way. I could try a bit more but there is a lip on them that only allows them to go one way and only so far.

They only go so far so don't with perfectly flush. I've found that because of how they sit in the diffuser it makes them beep a bit more than when they were in the stock part.

So it's not just me. Mine are beeping like crazy as soon as I put the car in reverse.

Ugh, I was afraid of that! About to find out myself when I leave the house here in a few minutes...

[chicagofan00]

Yep. Definitely alerting more.

They don't look like they're sitting straight in their holes, also did you make sure to re-fit them in exactly the same orientation as before? Do they have something on the sensor to indicate which way is at the top?

They are. Yes. And yes.

Trying to upload the pic but bloody app won't let me! Your left one definitely looks wonky:

[chicagofan00]

It's in as good as it can go as it's clipped in the proper way. It's the hole itself and not how it's seated.
