It came!
Today if it home from work to my wife telling me there is a large box waiting for me in the garage. Low and behold there is, with big red letters that say ARKYM on the front.
Now I've got myself a nice project for the weekend. (I can't post pics because I'm on my iphone but I will ASAP).

Be sure to get some 3M adhesion promoter and if you can, let the car sit in the sun for the day before installing it.

Is that glue or tape? And I need to leave it in the sun? Should I wash it first?

The 3M adhesion promoter is a liquid that you wipe the area that the 3M tape will be sticking to to make sure it gets the best bond possible. Yes, you need to make sure the area that's being taped is very clean before installation. Leaving the car in the sun first will allow the bumper to get more flexible to help you with making sure the diffuser can form to the bumper as best as possible.

Should come with the 3M tape already installed on the diffuser. The adhesion promoter you may find at Lowes. However if not you can use prepsol. And as stated above make sure area is very clean, then prep area. If sun isn't a possibility you can use a blow dryer to warm up the bumper before adhering the 3M tape. Take your time.

It's not rocket science. Put the 3m tape around the border of the part your installing. Dry fit it first to see where to apply. To clean the bumper you can also use rubbing alcohol.

The 3M tape and adhesion promoter is a specialty item so you won't be finding it at Lowe's or Home Depot anytime soon. You'll need to contact either some local bodyshops or find out if there are any paint/body supply stores nearby or order online.
