Shouldn't the diffuser go over the rear bumper for it to work?

I'm waiting for my Cusco diffuser package.

Mine's sitting in the garage waiting for me to get off my ***. Haven't even looked at it yet, any troubles installing?

Looks like you had to put nuts on the inside of the trunk in the spare tire well to hold the front 3 bolts...

Ya, I was curious how the bumper alignment would work with the 93-01 chassis... It sits a little farther back because of the bumper. I tried fitting it every which-way, but this is how it fits from the plastic design of the diffuser (it cant really fit any other way)

Ya, had a little trouble, ended up with an extra hole from a bad first fitting Watch out for it moving on you! And i'd recommend to use the OEM bracket for the two holes near the bumper to make it easier (I dont have anything connecting those right now... Dont really need to its on there good enough, ill make a bracket for it later)

I didnt use nuts inside the trunk, the washers actually pushed themselves into the sound deadening material and fixed the odd angle of the bolt and made a nice fit so it worked out better than I hoped. Spacers might be useful between the diffuser and the frame if you want to make a really nice fit, but its not neccessary.

Wait... I don't think I understand. The only thing holding that on is the bolts screwed directly into the sheetmetal and some washers?

You do not have to add kindling or stoke the fire.
