Bumping thread for AK. I got the VHB tape from ULine. I think one of the picts have a roll of it. :p
I used probably 10-12ft of the roll. The reason why I did not buy from one of the cheap vendors on ebay is because some of them would not warrant the quality. I think they were old and past their shelf life. |
Anyone know if there's a fit issue going over aftermarket exhausts? I have the HKS and from the pics its looks close, though I am looking @ this on my BB anyone confirm ? :)

you know you can add spacers to the hanger brackets to lower the exhaust...?
my fujimura muffler was 3mm from the CF when i installed it. added 3mm bushings (6pcs) and got 7-8mm clearance. :p |
I had to add the spacers already, I am pretty sure I'll be alright.
|
Just add more as needed. Should be no issue. :p

Had the diffuser sitting on my floor for a couple of weeks. Decided to not be lazy yesterday and finally put it on. Quick writeup and some pics below.
Pretty easy install. I used 3M VHB 4910 tape (the tape they give you is a joke). I mostly put the tape along the outer edges of the diffuser. Per Kenchan's suggestion, I let the tape settle to the diffuser in the sun before install. While that sat, I went to work removing the factory plastic clip under the read fog light. It honestly looks like an unassuming plastic clip, but don't be fooled, its a pain in the @ss. You need to use some force and good positioning. Once that was off, I carefully put on the diffuser (you don't want to be off and have to constantly adjust because the tape will stick fairly quickly). I screwed in the center with the screw and bolt they provided. I used my own black self-drilling screws for the sides, instead of the flat-point screws they provided. Overall, I'm pretty pleased. Fitment and carbon fiber quality are pretty good. Letting the diffuser sit until work tomorrow morning to let the 3M tape cure. Anyway, posted some pics below. Oh, and I have the F.I. exhaust and it is a tight fit (maybe 2 millimeters) but there is no contact. |
^pretty sick man. I like the CF wing. Saving the loot.

CF wing is a good investment, quality is solid plus since you already have the holes drilled from the sports pkg spoiler, it should be a quick install. |
Thanks for the link I'm definitely going to pick up one of these

Guys quick question...
i got my diffuser, put it on, and a few days later the right side has a SLIGHT sag/gap at the top (not noticable unless you know its there and really look for it). because i'm really anal with stuff like this (even though nobody can see it) it is really frustrating me.. i am wondering - is this normal? ie is it a fujimura defect on the diffuser? or did i not apply tape/pressure in that area and therefore thats what has happened? If it is my fault, CAN i remove the diffuser (unbolt it) and re-do it? or once its on with the 3M VHB tape, its pretty much game over? i've attached a pic (used Knives pic and just circled the spot where it is). Any feedback would be great.. I hope its my fault and that i can remove it and re-do it again! Thx :tup: |
yah, remove it and redo the tape, double up at the top with 3M VHB. :p
also your exhaust tips are awefully close to the diffuser... might want to get some washers and lower that exhaust a notch. :) |

Yea, I'm kinda watching the situation. I have a couple of millimeters of clearance, but I'll prob lower the exhaust a tad when I finally get off my @ss and install my sway bars. |
so when removing it, the tape wont be that strong that it will require alot of force to pry off (and possibly risk busting the diffuser (since it lightweight/fragile)?
i guess i should re-rub the area on the car again with rubbing alcohol to remove any of the VHM tape residue? when u say double up at the top with the vhb tape, do you mean to put 2 strips side by side? or stack them ontop of each other to make them double the thickness? sorry for the annoying questions.. just want to get it right =) thanks for your quick response! hehe thats knives car (i just pinched his pic to demonstrate where my issue is) but i am getting the same exhaust so atleast i know i'll need to get the tips lowered a touch |

Yea, you're going to want to remove as much of the VHB residue as you can. I'm guessing after a couple of days, the VHB tape will leave some residue. If that's the case, just use mineral spirits and heat up the area with a hairdryer. The cleaner you make the area, the better the new tape will take hold. And yes, he means stack two layers of VHB tape ontop of each other. It will make for better contact and will most likely resolve the "sag" issue you have. |
cool sounds good.. going to do it when i get home tonight! just glad that it can be done.. its been eating at me..
oh well shouldn't take too long, since the holes have already been drilled on the bar etc.. thanks for your help guys! |

hummm well i wanna buy from a safe seller and ion wanna wait a month.
|
does anybody have this in the black version on their car???
|
Installed mine today, Its about as easy any mod could possibly be to install, 15-20 minutes max. 99% happy with the fitment too. Fits WAY better than the EVO-R versions ive seen, so like others have mentioned, it's well worth the extra bucks.

I ordered through JapanParts. Took 3 weeks to get to me in Australia. Took a couple pics with the phone, so they arent great, but you get the idea.
I didnt think it was going to fit that great at first when I just had the double sided tape holding it on, but once you get the screws in the bottom tightened up it all lines up near perfect. |
Looks good!
|
This looks great, definitely need to order myself one. Heard to many bad things about the EvoR version
