I have kick motion, and none of the elctronic modules come off with the diffuser. There is an 'inner skin' behind the diffuser that the electronics attach to - that skin stays put so all of your modules stay put too.

The kick motion still worked on my car when I installed my diffuser myself (albeit less sensitive), however when my car went in to the bodyshop for a paint repair on the bumper, they removed and then re-installed the diffuser. After that, kick motion stopped working weirdly (well it worked exactly 1 time but I can't replicate it, but it does mean I know the electronics are all still there even after the bodyshop refitted the diffuser).
