Default Rear Fascia Panels (Rear Diffusers) - Before & After

Here they are - not much to it! Just a pair of molded plastic pieces.

To install, you hold the panels in place and mark the center of the 6 holes on the panels to drill. Once your centers are marked, you drill 6 1/8" holes, and then go through the same holes with the 5/16" bit. The holes go into the bottom of the rear bumper cover which is easy because it is urethane. Then wipe down the contact area with the alcohol swab provided in the kit, remove the backing from the two-sided tape, place the panels in place while making sure they are lined up. After the tape is applied the panels should stay in place. Finish it up by installing the fasteners. Takes 10-15 mins tops.

If you decide to remove them later, the holes you drill will be out of sight.

Chrysler Part # - 82209208
List Price $210 / Cost $178 (with CTC 15% discount - makes them the same price as most online parts stores, but no shipping).
Got them next day from my local dealer (Mission Chrysler in San Antonio).

Tools required -
Drill
1/8" Drill Bit
5/16" Drill Bit
Phillips Screwdriver
Marker/Pen/Pencil to mark the centers of the holes

Parts:


Before:



After:


They should've been included stock on these cars, especially the SRT.

Looks nice! Almost makes you want to take a grinder and remove that tow hook.

Crap.

Well, the numbers haven't completely worn off my credit card yet so I guess I have to buy a set of these. I really wish I didn't like them, but I do.

Thanks for posting the before/after and even the parts off the car!

Some people have robbed a tow-hook cover off of a VW Bug I believe, and covered it up. It still shows a black cover there, but apparently doesn't look quite as 'out of place'.

Mike, it's a good mod and easy to do. I wish they weren't quite as pricey, but the wife liked and wanted them...and I liked 'em too. I figured I'd get a set before they were no longer available.

Hi Any thoughts on the purchase and the cost to ship to the UK. The Chrysler diffusers here are £306.00 from main dealer and if fitted £441.00. I'm unable to locate them elsewhere. in the UK...unless any UK members know different?

Here is where I got mine from:
http://www.wyckoffchryslerparts.com

Rear Diffusers $177 (£88.50)
Cargo roller cover $233 (£116.50)
The cheapest I could find anywhere and absolutely fantastic build quality. Easy to fit too, even the Cargo cover only took less than 1 hr.

Cheers,
Si

I do like the looks of the fascia panels/diffusers. I noticed a couple of pictures at the gallery where members must have painted them to match their XFire. Since my XFire is yellow, would I be better off not painting them?

I think they look good either way. If my car was not Gray or Black, I probably would've painted them...but they blend in well with the Graphite so I'm not worried about it just yet.

I went to Auto Zone and found the ones I needed. They look just like the ones in your pics.

I ordered mine yesterday. Be here by Friday. I'm just wondering how to finish them for a Blaze Red Roadster? Any suggestions?

These are on my short list. I thought perhaps chrome to match the exhaust tips, then more of a silver grey to match the window surround and naturally color matched as well. Not to mention flat black. I may paint a bunch of cardboard different colors to get a better idea of how each would look. And if you paint them Aero Blue be sure to post a picture for us color blind owners.
