Advan Emotion of this forum. <$100 shipped. You only need to drill one hole in the center. You'll need a phillips and flat head screwdriver; easy as can-be!

No, I meant less than $100 because I don't recall what I paid for it.

i couldn't use the locking tabs that came with the ones from advan emotion, so i went to the auto parts store and bought screws, washers, and nuts to hold the oem diffuser on to the bumper. the way I installed mine, i just used the pre-existing holes on the bumper and didn't drill any new holes on the bumper.

so if i just used the pre existing holes on the bumper ... and not use that one drilled hole.. the diffuser will hold on good?

it should. perhaps someone who has an oem (not replica) rear diffuser can comment on how they're originally installed at port. i presume they also use the pre-existing holes on the bumper and no drilling was required.
