I've actually written the install page already (other CF parts have already been done) I just need to add the details of how the actual install goes.
I WILL be removing the exhaust for the isntall and I also plan on keeping the rear mudguards.
And thanks for the heads up about being "flexy." I've taken some pics already and as light as it is it is also quite strong...much to my pleasure.
Regards,
Crispy

I'm not sure you want to remove the exhaust. Once the diffuser is on, its tricky to mount that rear muffler bracket. I removed the rear muffler the first time and subsequent times left it on. I find it simpler to leave it on.
Once the car is up on jack stands, leave the diffuser on the cardboard and balance it on the jack to raise it up. You'll want to use something to hold up the passenger side beside the muffler - I think I used some bricks.
Hand tighten the rear of the diffuser first - behind the gas tank.
Next hand tighten the front along the rear bumper.
Then try and tighten above the muffler tips. That part is a biatch but can be done using some ratcheting wrenches and 90* screwdrivers.
Once everything is hand tight and the muffler area is on, the last tricky part is the driver's side rear corner. At least it was on mine from a couple of years ago. You need to first fully tighten the rear of it near the bumper lip then fully tighen the section that wraps around the wheel well. If you are using the stock mud flaps, you can use it to cover most of the ill fitting gap in that area.
Or something like that. It was 2 years last time I took it apart.

I believe I was the first to use the mudguards with the RE street diffuser. It hides the weird end by the rear fender well. I'm getting Ken's CF mudguard and will see how it works with the CF Street.

Got mine. The bubble wrapping for the shipping is just amazing. It took me over 5 minutes just to unwrap it.
Don't mind the posers. The camera comes out and they assume it is for them.
Thanks Ken

Look at Crispy's install pics. Mine was pretty much the same with the same issues in fitment. Minor stuff really, especially if you don't intend to be a "show" car.
Overall I wish I had purchased the CF version.
