Default Voltex Diffuser with Bumper Tuck

Decided I would post this up since I couldn't find anyone that had done this yet. Just mounted up my Voltex diffuser and retained my bumper tuck while doing so. Had to cut the factory metal hangers that were there and remove some excess bumper from the tucked section to work, but I like how it turned out.

Yes, I have the trim piece. It's currently getting painted.

I've also got Voltex skirts and a chargespeed front bumper getting paint.

Cheers!

Voltex ftw and looks great but it looks like you pulled the tuck a bit too much, you can tell by the distortion in the reflection. The face of the rear bumper below the turn signal is curving inward.

You talking about the driver's side under the turn signal? That side is distorted from running a tomei single for a while. It melted it a bit haha

Haha yeah I suppose it just adds character! Loved the tomei but it wouldn't fit with this diffuser anyway

Thanks! Yes, I've got voltex side skirts and a chargespeed type 1 front bumper all getting paint right now. Once I get everything back together I'll be sure to get some more shots.

Those that are familiar with the member blue350zed, it's all of his old pieces that I purchased.

Here's a little wider shot (crappy quality via cell phone) but you get the idea. Once I get the rest of the pieces it'll all tie together. I think it looks pretty awesome right now though!

Haha no I didn't make it. You have to order it through a vendor that will get it from Voltex in Japan, or you'd have to get lucky like I did and find one used.

For sure man. I'm pretty thankful that I personally know the guy and he was a part of our Z group down in Florida. I reached out to him once he told us he was going with the garagemak kit and he really cut me a great deal.
