Need Mounting Hardware for Rear Diffuser!
Hey I got a rear diffuser from a turbo model and I was woundering if someone had any nuts and bolts lying around that would like to give away?
Thanks

You don't need the special cage nuts and allen bolts. You should be able to reach around into the rear bumper and hold a regular nut and use a slightly longer bolt.

He means the valance. A diffuser is more like what is on the back of the Ferrari F430. Someone here put an aftermarket rx-7 diffuser on the back of their car. Looked pretty cool.

Oh oh oh, that thing that goes under the rear. Actually I've been meaning to put one on my NA car ... tired of seeing the workings underneath.
So they can be attached with a simple nut-and-bolt type situation?

The thing that sort of covers the rear muffler so you can't see it as bad from the back.
Can't imagine what other claims are made for it.
Though it does tidy up the rear end somewhat.

Cool photo!
If only it were possible to push a button and make that happen. Think of how easy it would be to work on!
(and how come my exhaust manifold's on the other side?)

There is some drilling into your fenders that's needed. Measure twice, drill once. When I did mine, I mounted it about 1/2" lower than the factory to clear my trailer hitch. It does clean up the looks of the rear, and I'd wager that it does a little for aerodynamics and cooling for the transmission.
Here's the pic of the diffuser that I was referring to.

That's the 944 turbo. In fact the picture shows all the things that the turbo had but the regular 944 didn't.

And you have a trailer hitch on your 944?!?!?! I didn't know that was possible. Doesn't the manual specifically say not to do that?
