Installed Autokits-X v2 rear diffuser!
bought the diffuser painted and boy do I love it! its dark out now and couldnt get any good pics, but ill upload some tomorrow afternoon if you guys want to see it on my OB coupe 
just one question.. i installed the top with double sided tape, but if you look at it closely, there is a small gap between the diffuser and my bumper. how can i correct this to make it look more flush? i was thinking of using some touch up paint maybe? just paint the edge of the tape that you can see so it blends in better. would that work? or is there a better way.. this is the first time ive ever installed something onto the body of my car so im a noob haha
Here is the picture of the box when it arrived
UPDATE:

Weiboy718, i was thinking about gluing it too. i love the way it looks and wouldnt want to change it. only problem with gluing i came up with is the fact that if i needed a replacement bumper or something, there would be no way to remove the diffuser without damaging it. you know what i mean man?

i don't like the sound of a gap it seems you have with the tape... is there an extra thin tape available?
if u used silicone to glue it, it will disintegrate with time, and get soft in the sun if you parked outside or drove anywhere, and makes a royal mess. Whats the name of the other glue?
any other options to attach this diffuser, is the official autokits rec to tape it?
btw those diffusers look sick, very nice guys... can't wait for mine
