IB///M3: 2005 ZCP Journal

^appreciate it guys

I tackled the rear undertray diffuser yesterday. Antreas with AGT recommends it be professionally installed, but I figured I'd give it a go. For the most part, mounting it up went rather smoothly. I ran into some difficulties here and there, especially where the undertray attaches to the CSL diffuser, but I managed to work it out. It was all about trial and error, adjusting, tweaking this & that...the same with any aftermarket part. Yes, I could've saved the headache and took it to a bodyshop, but it's more satisfying doing it yourself while saving a few bucks.

So yeah, overall, the install was frustrating and gratifying at the same time. It took about 4.5 hours from start to finish, with a few breaks to argue with the wife as to why I was taking so long & to watch some of the NBA draft. I think I took a sh1t too.

I opted for the 'smiley/bow' look, as I wanted to keep it as close to the car's body as possible. When I have time, maybe I'll add pieces of the steel tubing, as seen between the undertray and diffuser, along with sides to straighten it out some. For now, though, I'm content with how it looks.

Anyway, just two quick shots (yes, I know, my trunk needs a little adjusting, too)

Thanks to Antreas & playskool1 for the install tips.

you crack me up Jun. Hope the sh*t went easier on you than the diffuser install. Looks great though man! Looking forward to seeing more final shots. What muffler do you got on there?

Nice, can't wait to see some farther away shots with everything on. As it is I'm all smiles right now...

Looks amazing! (obviously

)

How much closer to the ground are you with the front bumper, side skirts, and now rear diffusor? I'd like some feedback when you get a chance to drive around town with your car. Also, is there a difference you can feel with all the aero? Backing out of the driveway a pain? Just curious....

Again, Rear looks so aggressive & awesome!

The steel tubing kind of stands out too much, I would suggest painting those pieces black to help them blend in better.

BTW, it would be great if you could post daylight shots of that diffuser.
