Just ordered in 2 rear diffuser panels for customers and both were incomplete. the aluminum panel is there but the composite diffuser fins are not attached or even in the box. all that's coming though is a the steel panel. Hold off before ordering one until I post the update.

Thanks for the heads up Scott.
 
Two part numbers now?
 
No same part number just missing content. something's up because inventory on that part went from 293 pcs. in January to 3 showing in stock now.
It's possible they are making the corrections on the part (I hope)
 
"Hey John, did you remember to put those fin things on the belly pan?"

"Huh?"
 
Somewhere there is a pile of diffuser fins.. wish I could get my hands on those.

If you just want the fins, Stillen is the way to go. Flexible urethane is forgiving of minor bumps and scrapes. $323.

Do it yourself pop rivets won't look as good as the OEM unit, but same as if you tried to install factory fins. The Stillen fins look great.

Thanks. Nothing technically wrong with mine other than the surface finish is diminishing. Suppose I could just have it painted.

Replaced mine with Stillen after a mishap with a parking block.

They didn't get along well with my factory muffler before I swapped it out though.

Ford has now pulled all the inventory of the diffusers to hopefully do the fix. wish they would just forget it sell us the big stock pile of fins sitting somewhere! (lol)

Sorry to hear of the delay, but dang, those chromed standard wheels look awesome on the red rocket!
