10 minutes maybe. It's only 4 screws, so very easy.

I'm interested to know this as well, thanks!

I bought the same one. It looks like a 2x2 weave, but is a bit coarser (wider texture) than the 2x2 oem mirror covers. It is obviously much coarser than the 1x1 roof. Since it is so low to the ground the coarseness of the CF texture isn't easy to notice. For the price it seems fine to me.

Install takes about 10 minute as mentioned before. Mine required that I install one screw and sort of stretch it to the other side to get the far screw in. I installed the middle two screws last. Since it is CF it is quite a bit stiffer/harder to install than the OEM plastic piece, but still not hard to install at all.

Noticed today that the trunk kick feature does still work with this diffuser. Just have to get your foot a little closer to it.

if people actually took the time to research the forums, they would know which parts can be bought off ebay and save yourself a ton of money.

but some people just like to buy overpriced stuff from (some) vendors and then post online so they look coool.

Any close up pics? Also, how much did you pay for it since it seems the price went up

Price seems to vary from $230-350.

Comfort access still works, but is a little less reliable as you have to stick your foot a little further in.
