If you look at the picture with my OEM plastic diffuser, you will see two covers and that is where those things protrude out and hide. On the new Carbon Diffuser, there is no cut out, so I had to remove the rivets and drill them out. You can also see it in my timelapse video.
Oh! Got it. Those things are hideous. Good riddance. Looking at those pics closer maybe the next project is getting rid of those extra added on ugly reflectors?

Yes V-Collections makes some amazing stuff, but really expensive. However I have been eyeing up their rear diffuser vertical strakes for the newer bumpers. I think they are the only ones who make the atm.

I just had the front lip PPF in XPEL and got the front Orange Reflectors smoked out and it looks amazing. I should have done that sooner. The red ones in the rear really contrast off the black carbon so it doesnt bother me as much. The orange just didnt match anything.
