Default Would a Boss 302 diffuser interfere with a Fays2 Watt's Link?

in June 2012 someone love-tapped my 2013's rear bumper and took off. It left a small nick in the bumper, but since I was being quoted $400-500 for it to be repaired I reported it to insurance along with the other car's license plates and car description. My insurance company was able to track her down and make her insurance pay. Since then I've had little time to get it fixed but now that I have a new backup car I can finally take the 'Stang in to get that fixed.

I would like for the body shop to install a 2013 Boss 302 diffuser while they are fixing up the bumper. However, I have a Fays2 Watt's link installed. Would the front edge of the diffuser interfere with the Watt's Link in any way?

From the looks of it, no...
See the picture below. It looks like it's just a different style diffuser and has the same harness mount locations as the stock one. It also looks like it stops at the mufflers, which would make sense, because it's supposed to redirect airflow, not sit in front of components that generate heat.

Thanks! For some reason I was under the impression that the diffuser extended further forward than it looks.

If it was actually functional then it would extend further up, but it looks to be just a fancy looking bumper.
