To those installing a GP rear diffuser with an aftermarket exhaust
Today I installed the GPII diffuser on my 2013 MCS with JCW package. It was pretty simple and if your skinny enough you dont even need to lift the car. The hardest part is getting the two tiny screws on each side, which I still have been unable to get back on.
Now, the unexpected part... I have an Invidia Q300 exhaust and the diffuser would not fit into the bumper because the muffler is bigger than the JCW exhaust. I had to shave off (literally. i used a razor blade) the plastic in order for it to fit.
After a bit of frustration and hard work the diffuser looks great.
Also!!! I ordered it from the service and parts department at the dealer. The kit did not include the screws. I removed the screw that secures the bumper and bought 10 of those. You'll need 10 total, so you could just get 9
have fun!

I'll be in the How-To section when the time comes, thanks! Right now I have way more priorities that need addressed before I get to thinking about the diffuser and underside pans. Just thought I'd throw a couple questions at you since you JUST did the install and had a nw thread opened.
One last question, if you don't mind: What was the total parts cost in the end for the full monte? If you do mind, no biggie.

Ok, Way, a seller of the kit finally speaks up and the picture answers my question lol
My concern was this kit is rear only, as it looks to be. There is still a front belly pan and 2 connecting center channels/brackets that you need for the full effect. The $299 kit is only the rear section as pictured, right?
