Can someone specify what is the difference between the Mazdaspeed Rear Diffuser Painted and Unpainted (Primer) versions? I need to know for sure if the center section is already painted Gun Metal Metallic on both or not. I’m trying to figure out if the only differences are the two (each side) parts right after the rear wheel that is painted/primed.

Any help will be appreciated.

 

I didn't know they sold the kit primered....

But as far as I know, the side bottoms and all of the rear is a dark gray

 

the one on my car is the so called primer version.. my guess it is gun metal.. then they paint the rest..

not a bad color match.. can send big photos if it would help..

the diffuser will be gunmetal regardless but the "primer" refers to the painted sides so if you have a custom paint job on your car, you'll be able to color match those primered sides.

 

I have a urethane Mazdaspeed Rear Diffuser and is anyone having trouble putting it on themselves? I am trying to do the install in my house but I am confused on how to put this on...I have looked at some pictures of how you are suppose to do it but are you REALLY suppose to cut into that black plastic part of the rear bumper?

 

yes.

good.....so if u mess up, u just gotta buy another bumper as well. does anyone have pics of their install?

 

i have seen the mazdaspeed install sheet that you get when you buy the kit but its kinda blurry... anyone have pics of ACTUALLY doing this? i really dont wanna mess up. lol

 

it is really easy. and you are just cutting away stuff that is going to be covered... so accurate is not really an issue. yes it is intimidating at first, but once you cut the stuff off, it is obvious..


an oil change on this car is more difficult...

im about to do this. i just got one.

so i guess i will take pics...

 

it's tricky. good luck!
