tool kit comes in handy, one or two of them bend easily and become useless after awhile since they're so thin at the end, the other work great though.

I badly want to wrap the bottom insert/fin portion in carbon fiber for the contrast. Maybe I'll just paint it

I forget, did you get the all gloss black like I did? And yes, CF looks a bit better for contrast - I just got lucky and had the extra diffuser in CF laying around.

you had to use your toes! love that. you need some polish. And yes, I can see how they would be wider...damn that sucks!!!!!!! I am betting you'll have a problem with the ebay setups, just a guess. only other option is maybe a dremel or a body shop to shave some material off...still cheaper than OEM...BTW, I just measured my car, looks like the top portion should accomodate around 8 inches, lower a bit over 9...but I think you got exactly what I did...

ya know, just for shits and giggles, unscrew the lower diffuser from the lower bumper that you got off ebay and throw it on under your current lower bumper trim. See how it looks. I did that with my first setup. It fit ok, had to shave some tabs off the CF diffuser to make it flush.
