Wagon rear diffuser
I want to get a diffuser for my 04 wagon, Just wondering if anyone can share their experience as too if it was an easy install or if any modification was needed.

hehe i just want to say this b/c i dont think ill ever get to say it again but the search is your friend =p
There are 2 ways to go you can do this:
https://www.i-club.com/forums/showth...light=diffuser
Or
You can buy a Rear Subframe brace from Cusco. It doesnt stiffen up the car by much but it has bracket holes to hold the 06-07 diffuser. If you do go with the Cusco brace make sure you get the brackets/hardware to go with the diffuser.
One con about the first option is that you need to drill through your spare tire well.
I have the whole cusco setup sitting in my closet right now. Waiting until i get my springs in so i only need to ask my friend if i can use his lift once.
Ill try and take some pictures when i get around to it. Should be soon.

Finally isntalled this over the weekend. Definitly need to raise the car a bit to work with ease. I didnt want to so i was in my garage trying to get this thing bolted on. Mine didnt come with rear bolts and nuts for the rear bracket.
Definitly is not a one man job. i need to get stack of books to hold the diffuser up while i tried to scred on the bolts to the brackets.
The bracket that goes on the brace bar either can go more left or right. Mine was mounted to there was more slack on the driverside. I had to bolt that twice. Hope this helps. Ill try and get some pictured of it up soon.

Its pretty simple uploading here. Unless you are trying to upload hi-res photos. I took some photos from my digital SLR camera and it failed. So I edited to lower size so they can send via internet quicker. Try manually resizing your desired photos through Photoshop or whatever photo manipulation program you own.
