Default Shine Auto TS diffuser in Kevlar

I recently had Shine Auto project make me a TS rep rear diffuser. To be a little different than the norm Ken and I figured we would try it in a new Carbon Kevlar he carries. It's the same material that's on the backing of various Bride seats, which is a much darker Kevlar than the more available yellow-green carbon kevlar that's used more. This is the third ts rep diffuser I've owned and just going from memory the weight and strength of this Kevlar vs. carbon fiber is the same. Here are some pics.
Here it is after I ripped it open.

Here are the vortex generators

Weaves compared to the back of a Bride Stradia 2 low max

Thanks Ruthless this style diffuser has always been my favorite. I've always come back to it even though I like to switch things up. Also shine is pretty fast at knocking these out, it took them a week and they made everything perfect especially since my main concern was that since the weave is so noticeable any imperfections couldn't be hidden like on carbon fiber. Needless to say its quality.

Watch that rear clearance!
I'd be afraid to drive your car where I live...crunch!

That looks awesome. Fitment is spot-on too. Def. better than mine lol

EDIT: Is that the Fujitsubo exhaust? Those huge tips look mean tucked between the bumper and diffuser like that. Sort of makes me wish I never got rid of my Fujitsubo.

Thanks everyone. and sry110 it is indeed the fujitsubo, not the loudest exhaust but it looks good and it fit the diffuser without any issue.

Check the Shine Auto website, 350z (Z33) section and go to the miscellaneous items category. I believe they have their pricing listed on the site, and the pricing varies by material if I remember correctly.

I thought about that but they wouldn't fit because my fenders are pulled, besides my car is coming out of the body shop in a week with most of the imperfections fixed.

And Chris do it bro. Sell those chargespeed rears and get this.

Damn, Chris. You're always doing something good with the PPW. Makes me feel old and boring with mine.

I guess I better do something about it.

BTW, OP. That diffuser looks awesome. Good job.
