(It doesn't take very long to remove the diffuser.) I like the stock rear panel.
Well, to say there's no way would be a stretch. You could leave the rear panel on and just remove it prior to tilting. It would take a little of the sex appeal out of the clamhinge, as you would then have to remove your diffuser and rear panel before you could tilt...So what's that take? 20 minutes? So with the rest of the kit installed minus panel eliminator... soup-to-nuts, you could tilt your clam in 25 minutes with some basic hand tools (tools needed to remove panel and diffuser only). If you opted to use the panel eliminator, you're tilting the clam with no tools and if under 5 minutes... Choice is up to you. Depends on how much you like your rear panel... Point is that you can work it however you like...

Best,

Phil
