I know we have a couple of threads already talking about diffusers, but I didn't see anything for the Roush part specifically. It appears that this part is officially for sale...

Mods I've posted this in the 'Cosmetic' area because this really isn't a functional performance modification. Please feel free to move this thread though if it would make more sense elsewhere.
I love the look of quad tips, and when the time comes for me to upgrade my exhaust I will absolutely be purchasing a quad-tipped catback (or I'll just add my own quad tips custom).
I'm concerned about the note that LMR has for this part, "Requires Ford premium package". I think this is because only the Premium trims have an OEM diffuser that is detachable/removable. On any base car...we are stuck with the single color rear bumper...it's all one molded piece. :doh:
I'm sure it's going to be crazy expensive to source a Premium rear bumper. What I'm wondering though...is whether or not I could simply install the Roush diffuser on top of my bumper? I mean...why wouldn't this work? The only real issue I'm seeing is that once overlaid...you might still see a bit of the OEM bumper where is goes around each exhaust tip. This could possibly require cutting/trimming of those areas to properly fit quad tips within that space.
I have a base model GT. I'm very tempted to pull the trigger on the Roush valence and give it a try, likely once Spring time hits. As long as it could be installed on top of the bumper, as an overlay, I think I could make it work and I'd do a full write up for others to follow.
What do you all think?
