go to the dealer and ask for the same clips as the ones on the bottom. That style will fit.

new push clips for the bottom also help when reinstalling the rear valence. they make it a little easier to get through the holes

Hmmm, it should work.

Yes, i used the clip they sent for the license plate hole. Just had to twist it while pushing it in. Mine looks different that the one you posted though

kool yaar, the clip i'm using for the center is the one Autokits sent me. I think it's the same size as the ones on the bottom. And i know what you mean by pain in the a$$. I used a medium flat head screw driver and a pair of needle nose pliers to get them off the bumper. They had so much dirt in them so i cleaned them really good before fitting them back with the diffuser. oh and the clips will be a little hard to clip back on too. you'll need to align the diffuser + bumper + bumper mount so the clip goes through all three. I had to use the pliers again to squeeze them back in.

If I was you, I'd get new clips since the stock ones were pretty worn which was probably why they were hard to take off and put on.

Re: retainer. I got the same one you did and it does not work. Get one exactly the same as the two on the bottom. I happened to have one on hand and it worked great.

Re: positioning. place the diffuser where you want it and then start removing the backing on the tape--first on one side, then the other. It's the double sided tape that makes sure the diffuser sits right inside the indent and stays there. There is no reason why you can't get both sides the same.

^ Thanks a lot Bat, Q8Y and mishmosh really appreciate the input and the help. I will get an identical retainer for the center mount and get this installed tomorrow.

G37Mobbin has CF on blueslate and it looks fantastic!

Hey guys!
for the bottom part you can use the stock clips, the other extra 2 that we included is just in case you don't have them...
now! i have to check if you guys are receiving the same clip for the center part, if not.. let me know and i will send it to you.

I recieved some questions from customers that they want to know, if the diffuser can be attach with only 3M double side tape?
and the answer is yes..
we tested the diffuser without any clips (only 3M double side tape) for a few days (high speeds) and everything was fine.

Now! why we included or made the diffuser with pre-drilled holes?
Even if the diffuser can stay with only 3M double side tape, we know that is better to have it secure so, the customer can be relaxed without thinking that will fly out on the way Lol...
remember! it comes with the 3M double side tape, one clip for the center part, 2 more on the bottom part and another 2 clips on each side.

sent me a pm if you have any question or if you need something from us.
I will more than happy to help you out and answer your questions

Thanks,
Alex L

Hey guys just wanted to update you that i did end up installing it today and used one of the lower OEM retainers in the center hole, it fit nicely but was a bit too long so i will wait for Autokits to send me the correct retainer to swap it out rather than drive over an hour to get to the dealer.

I was finally able to get it on perfectly within the indent on both sides with NO fitment issues IMO but will confirm tomorrow morning in better light and snap a few pics!

Overall a painless install as long as you can get the bottom clips off. I am VERY satisfied with the product the car looks more aggressive yet stock.

Thanks for your help guys and Autokits for a great diffuser!
