3M

3M, but be careful. Buddy of mine has it and the sides don't hold as well over time so they get a bit unhinged. You wanna use a good solid piece of 3M above the reverse light as it's the most flat and holds the best.

It is Amazing tape.

I have the same diffuser, tape will NOT work. What is recommended is red (heat) silicone. I used black gasket silicone. Used 2 large tubes.
4 years and hard tracking, holds fine.

I have the Seibon one that wraps the whole rear bumper and diffuser and it's on with nothing but 3M

In 2012, 3m tape for my 5 Axis body kit worked fine after a couple of minor lifts and re-applications, all due to slight warpage of parts. I thought it could work for the diffuser until someone more experienced advised me.

To avoid drilling and rivets I contacted Seibon and was told NOT to use foam tape, but to use red oxide (heat) silicone, as 3m over time will NOT hold .

The slightly warped diffusers have a poor fit over the soapy plastic, lots of air space which contributes to dirt accumulation, vibration etc. and LOOSENING. The diffuser is to heavy for tape.

The poor fit issue is well known and my importer accepts items that are dry fitted at time of purchase which don't fit, for full refund.

Silicone glue filling the gaps had enough shear strength to last permanently.
Peace of mind, knowing the carbon fibre diffuser will not fall off on the track or highway.

This is really good info, thanks for that!

YVW,
be sure to clamp both sides and use a heat lamp overnight -

HMMMMM I knew this girl once...

Can you send me a link to exactly what you used? Spent a lot of money yesterday and none of the things I bought worked:(

Update just failed miserably at riveting now I have a ton of holes in my carbon fiber diffuser... they won't stay in I have no idea why

Why after all the suggestions, NONE OF WHICH SAID TO RIVET, would you decide to rivet? Rivets work via pressure that isn't compatible with the rigidity and lack of give in carbon...
