They all look nice. The question is, are these diffusers actually functional, or are they just for looks? I've never heard about the functionality on our cars.

Thanks

For looks. Even those on Mercs are for looks. On our Z's, these piece looks amazing.

I just got the DF1 and when looking at all these diffusers it looks as through the bottom center light is mounted behind the diffuser? Is that correct.

I would say yes, I'm sure you can adjust the gap with additional washers on the hangers if needed.

Can somebody with the Fujimura diffuser please clarify something for me? Does it get installed by gluing and screwing it on top of the original factory diffuser? If so, does it effectively destroy the original diffuser, assuming that the adhesive is not removable? If that is the case, I think I might experiment with coating my original with Plasti-Dip or vinyl wrap, since both are cheap and can be undone. If I like the look, I'll upgrayyyeeed to the Fujimura.

No glue! You can use silicone but in this case it's only attached with 3M double sided tape and possibly a couple of screws to secure the fujimura diffuser over your oem bumper. Similar to installing side blades or other aftermarket lips to your car. It's not permanently attached.

Thanks for the explanation. In that case, if I don't like it, I can always resell it and probably be out less money than if I had paid for a vinyl wrap.

Installed my diffuser yesterday. Used the VHB tape as recommended.

Decided to raise the car and drop the muffler to allow access to where the diffuser curves to accommodate the exhaust tips. 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?
