Duke Dynamics FRP Fins diffuser (fitment issues)
I got the diffuser in the mail yesterday. It doesn't fit well. I have tried to install it 5 different times and still it won't fit as snug as my original mtech diffuser. There are 3 tabs that just don't seem to hold. I push them in, they pop out still slightly. I'm requesting a replacement let's see what happens. I hope this can be resolved in a timely manner, I have heard the stories.. just my luck.

I think if you remove the whole bumper and install the diffuser you may have an easier time getting it to fit and sit properly.

The issue is the tab on the far left is too small. The gap on the right is now small enough that I can live with it. I'm going to have to try and super glue the tab on the left side. Good idea or bad?

yeah, you can use the superglue or adhesive to secure/expand the tap.

If I were you. I would go to ind distribution. They fix it like it was OEM.
I'll be there in two weeks.

Well I've got it to fit pretty good. I put a piece of folded over duck tape about the size of the tabs, so that the tap actually holds when pushed in. The tabs where the gaps are were too small. Pics to come soon
