EVO-R 370Z Rear Diffuser

in the picture from sema, why does it seem to not sit flush against the body, it kinda looks cheap. Could it just be the angle of the picture?

To me it didn't look like it filled in all the area below that body line that arcs accross the back of the bumper. Seemed to still be some white paint visible just below that line before the diffuser started. Alignment issue or part issue?

Cuz We got them in last minutes. On the top section you need screw from inner bumper to the diffuser. Did not have enough time to do it. So just double side tape which is not enough to hold it. This is very nice carbon piece. I'll post more pics.

Are you going to post some more pics now that SEMA is here? I think all of us would love to see it from various angles. Thanks

I don't understand. If Nissan had left these parts unpainted, everyone would be calling them cheap and going out and getting them painted. But when you deliberately make them look like black plastic, they become cool...?

Anyway, I have a black car, so it doesn't matter. I'll go ahead and now...

So how is it going to be secured with a screw to the bumper???? Does it require damaging the stock body work?

You will need to drill through the stock bumper.

I guess its up to if you going to keep this cover for good. I bet by the time you decided to go with different look, new kit with full bumper replacement will be out.

Will it be drilled in underneath the bumper with the top part held on by tape? If so I don't think it would be that bad since you would not see any holes if decided to take it off.
