Sorry if Its already posted (did a search and had nothing)
This one was for a 428gc but should be the same for other models. Tools 5/16 socket T20 hex Black tape or black plastidip So the diffuser has tabs that connects to the bumper...3 taps on each side & 6 taps center. Also there are screws at the bottom (2 each side-5/16 socket and 3 in center-t20 hex). Remove all the screws and pull the tabs off the bumper. You can start on either side. Side notes: If you plan to replace rear reflectors and/or exhaust tips...this is the time to do it when the diffuser is off

For my car (428 xdrive GC), the passenger side has a tank (or whatever it is) thats painted bodycolor. You'll need to paint this section black so that the body color cant been seen from the mash opening
I use plastidip, did 3 coatings U can use black tape and tape it up
