Here are a few different angles.

Looks awesome

I'm tempted to follow suit with the diffuser, especially since you say it's a perfect fit.

Is it just me or can you see the tabs that are supposed to go into the slots along the passenger side when you zoom in on the second pic. I could be wrong, but I swear I see 3 of em, the driver side doesn't have them and looks great.

I honestly didn't even notice, could just be the picture.

Ahh ok that's fair, I had an issue in that same spot so maybe I'm looking for it lol. Enjoy man, such a good looking diffuser

I see them, But i really had to look.

NeXvZEiN · 02-05-2021, 06:01 PM

It's not something most people would ever know to look for, I didn't see it. Either way I love the look, goes great with the wing and splitter.

Booher · 02-06-2021, 08:04 AM

This was my issue, it looked and fit amazing in the center, but the sides had issues. I'm sure on the car it wouldn't show as much, especially not looking at it from the ground level, but I just couldn't deal with it. I want everything perfect, I'm ocd like that I guess, hah. I talked to ikon about it, and they said it was going to r and d for a revision. I had 3 separate people message me they had they same issue, so that was the evidence that I brought forth to Ikon, as originally they said I must've gotten a bad one. I'm eagerly waiting for the new version as it looks sooooo good, and makes the oem one look so boring. I took mine to two body shops, both of which said they couldn't make it fit flush. One suggested to put a screw in the tabs to hold it flush, but recommended not doing it as it's just a small piece of plastic, and couldn't guarantee how long it would hold, as there was alot of pressure holding the plastic piece back. Also said, once that tab is broken it's done for, and would have to buy a new bumper for anything to fit right again,, so I opted against it.

Aren't small gaps like that what they make Caulk for?

cthompson07 · 03-23-2021, 02:58 PM

I bought some Ikon side skirts and their rear diffuser. Like the poster above, my diffuser fits great in the middle but has a slight gap either side. Not noticeable unless you’re down there looking.

How did the side skirts fit and how did you mount them?

Side skirts were fine but took two tries for some reason. I followed these instructions from American Authority. Cleaned everything and held them up to test fit and they were great. Started mounting (3m tape across the entire top section) and they had a big gap right under the back part of the door. Took them off and re applied 3m and they fit fine the second time. Both side skirts did the same thing, fit fine on test fit, had a gap first time trying to install, fit fine the second time.

There’s about 6-8 screws that screw in the bottom (they screw up into the bottom of the stock panel) and then two in each wheel well going towards the middle. The front wheels can be turned to allow access, but the rear wheels have to be removed.
