Default does this diffuser flow nice with my car?

I have the full nismo kit and I always felt it could use a little something to complete the kit. I am interested in getting this and just installing it as is...flat black finish. My car is silverstone...stock wheels

I don't think I want to do carbon fiber coz of the $ and it will become an addiction lol.

I even considered getting a chargespeed bumper but its way too pricey.

Does anyone like this diffuser? Any other suggestions? I would like to get this asap. thanks!

I considered this combo, but I don't think it looks good.

Can you please share why? Any other thoughts on how you would complete the look, or maybe I should just leave it alone with just the nismo parts on there? I thought it might make the car stand out even more?

I love the price and it has to be pretty easy to install...it has to be the best option without spending alot of money right? My car is the full nismo kit, I think it came lowered too. I still have stock wheels. The only mod I have is in audio and LED emblems in amber which are very cool. I am not crazy about ever getting black wheels or anything, but I figure it might look cool in flat black as for this piece.

black on silverstone looks amazing period...I think it would look good especially since the nismo kit has some black accents on it right? I say go for it! good bang for the buck mod.

Eh, I guess it actually doesn't look that bad. The diffuser lip is about the same height as the Nismo rear skirts.

I think I just decided to go with the Tourenn rear bumper and dropped plans for doing this. The tourenn sort of looks like the nismo sides and has a diffuser, too.

Thanks for your advice. I also think it will be a nice contrast. The nismo parts may come with accents but mine is painted all silverstone by the previous owner.

pics with LED emblems. They are stock ones that were modified for the clean look. Sorry, I don't have any recent pics of my touchscreen mod.

I have the same diffuser. Dropped it off at the local painter, along with my JP type S front lip. Having both painted Mag Black to match car. I should have both pieces back later this week and install both of them this weekend. I'll post pics after install.

it is this little thing called personal taste. what may look good for one person looks like total crap to another. that being said it is important that you understand this when wanting to do visual mods for your car and asking for people's advice on what to put onto your car.

Mikie, Just my opinion, but all that body work is making you car look like it has more mass and making wheels that already look too small, look even smaller. Personally, I start with the wheels and tires first. Nothing bothers me more on my car than having wheels that look too small.
