Ya know Jordan, I didn't notice that at first until you mentioned it... I was so busy admiring the tail pipes integrated in the bumper- that's what had my jaw dropping. For me I wouldn't say weird, but I do agree that it would look a whole lot better with the diffuser on

So Ray what gives? you gonna get a diffuser put on?

thats funny. why i first didnt find any. this suck that they cost more than the bumper though

lately i've been working on geting ready for an actual turbo vs just turbo looking parts.loltired of people asking "man you got the GT edition man that thing must be fast!!!" then i have to tell them "no but my girls is"

[Beltaine]

I've been thinking about getting the exhaust through the reverse lights on mine. Anyone done this on the stock bumper?

The only thing would be finding suitable replacements for the reverse lights and rear fog that didn't look like poo.

Does anyone have an extra rear diffuser WITH the exhaust cut out or know where I could find one? 1stvwparts were sold out. I am in the process of getting one without the cutout, but would really prefer to not have to put turn downs on my car. Thanks

I have one of each. The first one I could get was the cutout one.. but then I got the one with NO cutouts, which is what I really wanted. So now the other is still sitting here with the rest of the parts in the living room.

I'd be willing to sell the cut-out version.

[beanybug]

I love these cars! Of course I like the VW symbol on my beetle but thats just me :P

[elmer fudd]

my car its a work in progress.

how do you install the diffuser?

Depending on which diffuser you got.... if you got the one with the cutout from VW, it did not come with the 3 butterfly screws.. but those were packed in the package with the rear bumper.

IF you bought the one with NO cutout, it has all the mounting hardware in the box with it. At least. Mine does. It should just be 3 bolts that you screw in.

[raymondlee]

i got the hardware. but i dont know where to screw the bolts in.

i got like 3 bolts and 3 clips

That, I don't know

Haven't even taken mine out yet. I just made sure all my stuff was there.

I can't afford to have them painted and put on yet!

[Downtown Turbo]

So it sounds like you have to measure things up manually instead of the bumper being pre-drilled for the diffusor...

Just great
