What are the plastic/rubber flaps leading up to the diffuser called..? Anyone have to order them? Replace them?

I have a friend with a lift I hope to borrow. I can drive on / off it.

I have nimble hands.... I fix jet ski engines. :)

Planning on attempting this myself soon. Anyone know if this part is normally in stock or has a several week lead time?

Will probably order it from my local service center this week and see when I can pick it up.

Place in MD had 2 on hand. I took pics and I'll write something up.

It took me about 2 hours and a lot of hurt hands and since I didn't get on a lift, my arms, stomach, and back are VERY sore

If I had to do it over again... I might have just let them bill me $300.

however, now that I know what I'd be getting into.. I'd do it myself.

Looking forward to it. I have a crawler and a slanted driveway. Hope that backing it into my garage and putting the car into the highest suspension setting, I'll have enough room to get this done without major drama.

Having some idea what to look for would be immensely helpful however.
