1le rear diffuser.

Well I'm replacing my stock ss rear diffuser for the quad tip diffuser for the 1le. I had to remove the whole rear end and then took off the stock diffuser. I then reinstalled my bumper and my diffuser comes in tomorrow. I didn't even think about it but does the 1le diffuse just snap in and screw in on the bottom like the stock one did or are there anything else that required me to remove the bumper again? Thanks!!

What's the big deal if you have to remove the bumper again? It takes less than 10 minutes...

Because the more I take it off the more I risk breaking tabs.

Since no one has answered your original question, no you do not have to pull the bumper to either remove or replace the rear valence. There are videos on Youtube to show you how.

I took my V6 diffuser and now my SS diffuser off the car without having to take off the rear bumper cover. You always risk braking the tabs. Be careful.
