While underneath the car (and with my significant other pushing the diffuser inward along the curved portion as hard as she could), I drilled a 3/16" hole through the apex of the curved portion of the diffuser and through the overlying piece of the plastic bumper (see pic), slipped in a 10-24 1" stainless-steel stove bolt, installed a washer and nut and tightened it down. Repeated the process on the other side. Re-installed the muffler and dropped the car back down. Took about an hour of time. The diffuser is now flush and as tight as a drum. It won't be coming off any time soon! The stove bolt is not visible from the rear (unless you're on your hands and knees LOL). Caution: If you plan to do this, make sure the car is fully supported before getting underneath it.
Where did you order the Diffuser from? I bought mine off Japanparts almost a month ago an I'm yet to receive any shipping info. Does it usually take this long buying the Fujimura from this site?
