Recently installed the Ikon Motorsports Rear Diffuser in Gloss Black. It makes the rear end a little more aggressive I think vs. the painted stock one.

Lmk what ya’ll think!

Looks good! How complex was the install?

Was this the part? Says it’s only for 2019-2022, but assume it fits 2023+.

Yes that is it. Install was very easy. Couple screws and two rivets. Pop it out and pop in the new one. Put oem screws in. Took me 20 min.

Any idea if this fits the g06?

Nvm: realoem shows that the msport piece is different between the two

No idea. This is G05 specific.

I'm going to assume it doesn't, but do you know if this messes with the kick-to-open trunk feature?

No it doesn’t. Direct replacement

Anyone done this with the same exact Ikon Motorsports diffuser but with their carbon fiber version diffuser?

Carbon one should be no different if it's the same style. I put a gloss black one on today and fitment was perfect. The gloss finish at the top isn't great on mine but no one can see it. I have a factory tow hitch so had to cut a little piece off to fit around the hitch.

That looks nice. Is it painted, or just glossy black plastic?

Can you post a photo of the tow hitch mod you made to the diffuser? I too have the tow hitch and trying to see what it would look like if I also cut a piece out for it on an aftermarket diffuser like this one. Thanks!

I don't have it on at the moment but have some pictures. I cut just a small portion towards the bottom which gave clearance to the bottom of the hitch. I did remove the rubber grommet which cover the hitch. The diffuser does still touch the hit and slight bludge but it's not really noticeable unless you knew it was underneath.

Will this work with a tow hitch?
