I agree, but not comparable to Bubble's thread about his body work!

ok here goes...

first of all, it's EXTREMELY tight fitting. Where the diffuser ends, it won't clear anything except pipes. HKS Hi-Power Ti guys and APS true dual guys can kiss this goodbye, unless they're willing to cut through the beautiful piece of dry cf, and negate the funtionality.

With my Greddy EvoTT exhaust...it cups it RIGHT inside the diffuser. clears it by 1/2 an inch towards the front of the car, where the diffuser folds upwards to prevent air from going inside. The exhaust is stubby, but short cannister-wise...so it fits PERFECTLY.

pictures coming...just have to upload. Didn't turn out too well though...fyi.

here. The red circle shows where the *front* of the diffuser cups UP, right in front of my evoTT exhaust. You can see how tight fitting it is. But it seems like this rear diffuser is made for this exhaust...fits perfectly. With the longer cannister style exhausts such as the HKS, you may have to cut off the part that cups up, but air may get inside and negate the funtionality. So whenever I want to remove the exhaust, I would need to take off the diffuser first.



here's a closer look at the area in question:



And a bigger overall picture...it's sexy...trust me.



And a little bonus...for those who wants to see what my new Top Secret CF hood looks like now...:

Hey were the holes in the side of the diffuser already there for the vortex pieces or were they drilled by your shop?

damn, that's an awseome fade job!!! It's kinda sad to see your car in such a shape, and with stock rims no less!

I wonder if you car will ever be actually "complete" haha. But man, whatever you choose to do, it always comes out SMOKING hot.

thanks guys. As most know already the theme to my car is to be crazy, yet subtle...to reward those with an eye for detail.
