I presume by your reply means that it will not fit "as is" with the TS rear bumper and that if I want to make it fit I can invest a lot of time and money and do custom fabrication on it.

If you modified my aunt and sewed a pair of ***** on her she'd be my uncle, but if someone asked me if my aunt is a man I'd simply answer, "No".

I suppose my response should have been "I don't know if this will fit the Top Secret rear skirt." I bought this diffuser knowing that I was going to have to do some modification to make it mount up properly to my Zele rear bumper. I have never mounted one to a stock rear, let alone a Zele, let alone a Top Secret rear. My thought? It can be made to fit anything as long as the buyer is willing to accept that it is not a direct bolt-up application. I would have had to drill into my Zele bumper as well as trim some of the diffuser.
That said, I don't want to mislead anyone. I know this can be made to fit anything, but I don't want to deal with the headache of someone e-mailing me looking for a refund after they buy this and realize it is not a simple 1-2-3 bolt-on installation... Some modification will be necessary. After doing a test-fit/mock-up to my rear bumper, I do not think the modification needed will be anything extreme or overly complicated. I guess that is the best answer I can provide.

That's a good explanation. Thanks. I'm of the mind that generally when someone asks if "X" will fit model "X", it's implied that they're asking if the part is a direct fit without any modification.
When people like me say that the AIT kit is a POS because it doesn't fit, it obviously can be modified to make it fit well. But it doesn't out of the box. That's what I meant.

Thank you for the bumps/questions...

But not in this thread though, I just honestly wanted to know if this part would fit my car with the TS half bumper and Bill gave me a unsatisfactory BS answer that "anything fits if you make it". I wasn't irritated at all. If I were, you'd know for sure. I don't think Bill was wither, I think he understood where I'm coming from.
But nice of you to notice and point it out. I hope Pujols leaves.
Yet another free bum for your part Bill.

I have been referred to (sometimes correctly) as a A-hole at times. And I get a bit crunk about things sometimes so you are correct on both counts.

... Thanks for the bump, Jeremy, and I do understand from where you were coming. No hard feelings. But was my answer really BS? Maybe unsatisfactory to you, but certainly not BS. The first post of the thread I state that the diffuser is not made for a G. It is made for a Z. Thus, there will be some modification necessary, as simple as new brackets most likely. I put that out there. When I was asked if this diffuser will fit on your aftermarket bumper, what kind of an answer did you expect? I certainly didn't lie - it can absolutely fit with some minor modification. You can put it on a Dodge Ram pick-up truck if you want to be creative...
I was going to buy an authentic R34 Top Secret diffuser and retro-fit it to my Zele rear, but decided on the Z diffuser instead. That would have needed modification, as well. The Bulletproof S2000 is sporting this same R34 Top Secret diffuser. If asked the question, "Does it fit the S2000?" I suppose, according to your criteria for a satisfactory, non-BS answer, the proper response would be 'no' because it is not a direct bolt-on part. However, with some minor trim work, I think it fits pretty nicely...
(As with this part, I would not sell that diffuser, either, without disclaiming from the beginning that is not made for an S2000.)
That said, Bump...
