    I see two different ones for sale - Capristo and 11mode. I've read that the Capristo version can be installed without taking off the rear bumper/diffuser. What about the 11mode? Any instructions available online?

    My Capristo was installed without removing the bumper, do not know about the 11mode. My indie did the install, one hour labor charge.

    Thanks. I saw your posts in the thread but a couple of questions - I know there's the rear bumper and the rear diffuser, but not sure what the bumper cover is (new to working on cars, but an engineer by trade).

    I ended up ordering the 11mode controller so I can be the guinea pig for other folks wondering if it works as well as the other controllers.

    The real bumper is behind (covered by) the bodywork,so that part of the bodywork can be called the bumper cover. Maybe the flat horizontal panel underneath can be removed for access to the muffler area,but I didn't find a way.

    Remember to post your results.
