Unless you have double round tips, the 540 trapezoid tips look awkward with these M5 style diffusers. They are too small and look crooked. If they are chrome, it's even worse.

This one

I didn't see this one when I was searching.... PS. I hate searching ebay. The results seem so random sometimes.... Maybe because I filtered on carbon fiber style why I didn't see this one so I went with the one in my post that looks closer to this one

I think this picture says it all. Someone I know who tried the M5 style diffuser on a 540.

I see what you are saying. I'll have to figure out a way to fabricate something over the tip... perhaps a cf cover.

I *think* the 540 tips come off with a rubber mallet. I am not positive.

Wow, that really looks atrocious.

fits nicely.... Took off the OEM this morning anticipating the delivery for today.. I had it in the car in 20 minutes.. OEM had 10 screws and this one used 5...

It took a little bit of wiggling because the inserts on this one are bigger so I had to use the envelope opener to force 2 or 3 in. All the others lined up well.

I am glad it fits nicely. With most of these ebay diffusers, it seems you have to bend a clip or two to get it into the bumper slot. Some people heat them up, I just bent back the top edge until the clip on it stuck out enough to push into the receiver.

If I am being honest, as I said, I think the diffuser looks great, but your tips are absolutely lost in that thing. It's really not meant for those puny tips. I bet you have a plan.

Yeah a little prying of the clips patiently did the trick....

Yeah I agree it goes better with quad exhaust but it isn't as bad as I was expecting.. I see some tip covers on Ebay that I maaayyy get....
