2013 Boss 302 Rear Diffuser Installed On My GT!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDFRA2TKT2s
Took a lot of work. It's definitely not just a simple bolt on piece. The Boss 302 diffuser has tabs that won't work with the stock GT bumper (no slots). To get it to work I had to grind off the tabs, and drill into the bumper in a few spots and screw the diffuser on to get it to stay on the car and look right lol. Definitely worth the extra work though IMO. Let me know what you guys think! Got it for $218 Shipped from Tousley Ford.
Before
After
And now the install.........
Here is the valance. The two outer tabs I cut off because they couldn't be used because there already is those on the bumper. I then drilled holes right by them through the bumper and used push tabs.
First I took out this center piece from the bumper. Pretty easy to take out. Has tabs that you have to get to from the back to take it out.
The boss diffuser has the exact same things that helps hold it on. Here is the diffuser with the stock bumper piece sitting on it.
Here are the tabs over the exhaust tips. There was nothing in the bumper to put them through so I ground them off.
Because of that, it didn't have anything holding it up over the exhaust so it would hang down so I drilled one hole on each side just on the outside of the exhaust tip and put a bolt in each side. Also, since it isn't a perfect fit, it doesn't fit around the exhaust tips like it should and next to the reflectors would hang down some, so right next to them I drilled a hole then used a push tab to hold it up there.
