Removing the rear oem bumper diffuser

Does anyone know the proper way to do this? Without cutting. Is there just some clips or screws holding it on to the bumper?

I haven't really looked in to it but it's something I'm planning to do next. And maybe slapping on some driveway labs diffuser Underneath the oem diffuser less bumper? Or maybe if I find someone who can fabricate one for me I'm willing to go that route also since I have a couple designs I have in mind.

Thanks.

If you are talking about the black portion of the rear bumper, then no... It's one piece with the bumper.

If you want to remove it, you would have to cut it.

The "diffuser" that hangs below the car, and goes under the exhaust tips, is held on with some push clips.

It won't work without some ghetto rig shit since it attaches to the part he wants to remove.
