I want to add one of these to my base bumper and do a custom cutout quad tip for my corsa system. I plan on plasti dipping the whole power portion. Do you think im better of with the difuser or just add the difuser fins?

Are those the only options without cutting/replacing the base bumper? Looking to do similar, but both those options seem flimsy and unsecure. Rather not have them fly off at speed.

There are other options too, I think Ikon has something...all involve cutting except the Velox I believe.

All the other options are extreme and tacky looking.and im not going to waste time cutting the bumping trying to get stuff to fit

Here is a comparison of a base bumper modified for quads and the gen 1 MMD diffuser next to a GT350 Rear valance with premium bumper.

Believe me I feel you...it is the one regret of getting the base model. The whole reason I got base was so I could upgrade....everything else except diffusers seem to work...but noooooooooo...angers me too [MENTION=25799]Popo5ohh[/MENTION]

Eventually I will bite the bullet and get the Ikon or the ever more expensive route of buying a premium bumper and then diffuser. Its a shame the the pieces of the premium bumper aren't sold separately since you lop off the bottom no matter what when you add a good diffuser.

I feel you as well.. I really wanted to put the Roush rear end on mine but when I realized I had to get a while new bumper because it was one piece.. I decided to lightly sand and paint it and put my own Universal rear diffuser fins on. And they bolt on..and have covers to hide the screw Bolts.
