Not yet...Still waiting for mines. I wanted it painted AW; Supposed to be shipped in the next 2 weeks. Did your diffuser come with the hardware or are you going to have to use the factory screws? The rear diffuser seem pretty easy to remove. I watched Tag Motorsports remove it when I had my quad mufflers installed. There are a few clip on screws that you need to remove but pretty simple.

Post some pics!!! Would love to see it.

Ok so the diffuser and eisenmann are in. The shop said they actually had to remove the bumper to get the diffuser to fit, as that was the only way to really secure it using those metal tabs. They also had to drill some wholes to be able to use the fasteners that came with the OEM diffuser. The fitment is not 100%' I would say more like 95-97%, I can live with it. Here's a picture:

Thanks all, it does make a HUGE difference in the look and sound of the car. Now I'm excited every day to turn it on and hear it roar. I will take better pictures tomorrow that show the diffuser better.
