Once everything dries, take off the brackets and make sure everything
still looks good. If it does, sand the holes you made with the screws
and fill them with bondo. Then sand again

Sand down the areas you glassed where you see major bumps.

Then put down another layer of glass making sure the entire fin is
covered and the glass is spilling onto the diffuser...then let dry

Now that the hard part is over, it's clean up time... this is the most
time consuming part



Just get the roughest sand paper, electric stander, sanding block and
go to town. This part I really can't describe because it depends on
what you have in front of you. Just keep sanding, laying down bondo,
and re-sand again until everything is clean and smooth.



Once everything is clean and smooth, it's time to work on the mounting
portion of this thing. You'll need to mount it and make sure
everything lines up the way it should before you do a final sanding
and painting.





I started by marking the bumper holes on the diffuser. The back
bumper holes I made halfway between each fin, close the each corner,
and 3.5 cm from the edge. (I just looked good this way) Then I put a
3 along the side of the bumper, I just eyeballed those. I predrilled
my holes with a drill bit that was slightly smaller then the screws I
was going to use.

Next I test fit it and had my wife hold it in place while I marked off
3 screw holes in the bumper. I predrilled the holes in the bumper
and mounted the whole thing with 3 screws.

Then I predilled and put in the rest of the screws.

Next, I dry fitted the pipe hangers and marked off on the wheel well
where they're going to be bolted in place.

I took the diffuser off, and mounted the bottom of the pipe holders to
the diffuser. Then I drilled the holes in the car. Bolted everything
together, stepped back, and took a look.

From here, I decided I'm done so I want onto painting...




At this point, you're pretty much done... Enjoy the $450 you saved on this project, and explain to the wife that in order to get the most out of this effort you'll have to take that saved money and invest it into a bigger turbo... she'll understand
