Universal Rear Diffuser
Tools & Supplies Required
- Plastic trim removal tools or plastic flathead tool
- Socket set
- Microfiber towel
- Isopropyl alcohol
- Optional: Vehicle ramps or jack stands for easier access
Step 1: Prepare the Vehicle
Park the vehicle on a level surface and ensure all exhaust components have completely cooled before beginning.
Clean the rear bumper and diffuser mounting area to remove dirt, debris, and contaminants.
For additional working space, you may raise the vehicle using ramps or jack stands.
Step 2: Remove the Factory Diffuser
From underneath the vehicle, remove all screws, clips, and fasteners securing the factory diffuser or rear valance. The number and location of fasteners will vary by vehicle.
Carefully release the retaining tabs, working from one side to the other.
Take your time during removal, as excessive force may damage or break the factory clips.
Step 3: Test Fit the New Diffuser
Position the new diffuser against the bumper and confirm that all mounting tabs, clips, and fastener locations align correctly.
If minor adjustments or trimming are required, make small modifications gradually and test fit again before proceeding.
Step 4: Install the New Diffuser
Begin by engaging all mounting tabs into their corresponding locations.
Once aligned, firmly press along the length of the diffuser until all clips are fully seated.
If your diffuser uses screws or additional hardware, install and tighten them evenly to ensure a secure fit.
Verify that the diffuser sits flush against the bumper and surrounding body panels.
Step 5: Final Inspection
Inspect all mounting points to ensure the diffuser is securely attached.
Check for:
- Proper alignment with the bumper
- Even panel gaps
- Fully engaged clips and fasteners
- No movement or loose sections
Reinstall any trim pieces or covers removed during installation.
Universal Side Skirts
Tools & Supplies Required
- Microfiber towel
- Isopropyl alcohol
- Masking tape
- Optional: Vehicle ramps or jack stands
- If required by your kit:Drill with small drill bitSelf-tapping screws or boltsAutomotive-grade double-sided tape
Step 1: Prepare the Vehicle
Park the vehicle on a level surface and thoroughly clean the rocker panel area where the side skirts will be installed.
Use isopropyl alcohol to remove any dirt, wax, grease, or contaminants to ensure proper adhesion.
If using double-sided tape, apply it to the mounting surface of the side skirt, but leave the protective backing in place until installation.
Step 2: Test Fit & Position
Carefully hold the side skirt against the vehicle and verify proper alignment from front to rear.
Use masking tape to mark the desired position and ensure both sides are installed evenly and symmetrically.
Take time to confirm fitment before permanently securing the side skirts.
Step 3: Secure with Adhesive Tape (If Applicable)
If your kit uses automotive tape, peel back a small section of the tape backing at each end to temporarily hold the side skirt in place while making final adjustments.
Once properly aligned, gradually remove the remaining backing while applying firm, even pressure along the entire length of the side skirt.
Step 4: Install Mechanical Fasteners (If Required)
If your kit includes screws, bolts, or additional mounting hardware, drill pilot holes as instructed.
Install all fasteners evenly and tighten securely.
Do not overtighten, as excessive force may damage carbon fiber, fiberglass, or plastic components.
Step 5: Final Inspection
Inspect the installation to ensure:
- Both side skirts are evenly aligned
- The skirts sit flush against the vehicle body
- All tape and fasteners are securely attached
- There are no visible gaps or areas of misalignment
Allow any adhesive products to cure according to the manufacturer's recommendations before washing the vehicle or exposing it to harsh conditions.

Position the front lip against the bumper and verify that all edges align correctly.
Use masking tape to mark the centerline and outer edges of the lip. This will help ensure accurate placement during installation.
Take time to confirm fitment before permanently securing the lip.
Step 3: Apply Adhesive Tape (If Applicable)
If your kit utilizes double-sided automotive tape, apply it to the mounting surfaces of the front lip.
Peel back a small portion of the tape backing at each end, leaving the remainder in place until final positioning is confirmed.
Step 4: Install & Secure the Front Lip
Align the front lip using the masking tape reference marks.
If using adhesive tape, gradually remove the backing while applying firm, even pressure along the entire length of the lip.
If mechanical fasteners are included or required, drill pilot holes as instructed and install all screws or bolts evenly.
