01 Step 1: Clean Surface

Be sure to prepare the surface that the rear diffuser extension will make contact with prior to install. Be sure to use a cleaning solution that does not leave any residue. If the contact areas are unclear, you can test fit the rear diffuser extension to confirm which areas need to be cleaned.

02 Step 2: Test Fit

Place the rear diffuser extension over the factory rear fascia to check for proper fitment. The primary goal here is to cover the factory plastic extension without impacting visibility of rear light and reflector indicators.

Before you install the rear diffuser extension, be sure to pull the backing tape at each edge so that it can be pulled away once the lip spoiler is in the correct location.

03 Step 3: Prep Surface

Once you have determined where to place the rear diffuser extension, apply the supplied adhesive promoter to the areas where the rear diffuser extension adhesive will contact the fascia.

04 Step 4: Installation

Install the rear diffuser extension onto the rear fascia. Adjust the rear diffuser extension accordingly until desired placement is achieved.

Once desired placement is achieved, apply pressure towards the rear diffuser extension while removing the lead ends to ensure the desired placement is locked in place.

Congratulations! You have completed your rear diffuser extension!

The cure time for the adhesive is a few hours, so be sure not to expose the car to moisture for at least 24 hours after installation. Otherwise, you are all set to go!

Excellent product from a great team with great customer service! The factory Model 3 Performance's suspension is rather underwhelming, so once you add the Dual Rate Linear Springs along with the Sway Bar kit and Luxury Suspension Kit it completely transforms the car!
