G20 LCI VTEN Diffuser Installation

Hey guys,

Just got a VTEN diffuser for my 2024 330 msp and spent like 4 hours to install. Result is… I couldn’t install it. I modified the clips quite a bit and was able to make it fit, but when I clipped in the center clips the side would pop out and vice versa. I ended up using a friend’s help and used superglue to just stick in the side parts, and it is staying on for now. I know going to a shop is the smart choice but I also feel like I should be able to DIY it. Has anyone had any successful attempts intalling VTEN diffuser on LCI G20??

So far heard ppl using epoxy, drilling in new wholes, and shubbing in doublesided 3M tapes in to forcefully fix the diffuser.

Here are some photos of mine after temporarily holding it with superglue (planning to get epoxy tmrw)

All LCI diffusers fit like garbage for some reason. I have the same diffuser and had to do the same thing.

So did you also use epoxy/superglue? Did it fit flush without any part of the diffuser slightly sticking out of its original place?

I used epoxy just on the right side near the reflector. That was the only place where i couldn’t get it to clip in. Planning on getting rid of my diffuser anyway and getting another one that I heard fits a little better.

I know the fitment on this one isn't like OEM but people I know who have it said it fits a lot better.
