Diffuser and exhaust look great. I was always skeptical of how the diffuser looked but it looks really good on there. I'd be super nervous drilling the holes in the rear bumper though.

Any plans to change up the side skirts after adding the diffuser?

(it was Fujitsubo) and I didn't even bother trying. I didn't think it was going to look right even if it did fit, and I had been itching for a new exhaust setup for a while anyway. As far as the diffuser goes, the quality is OK but I honestly expected a little better from Shine. Geometrically it's good (not perfect) but there are a lot of visible surface imperfections that disappointed me. Looks ok from 5 feet away.

Thanks! This was definitely a measure 5 times, cut once operation. Even then I had to do all sorts of modifications to get it on there straight and it still isn't perfect. But based on the holes and scuffs the diffuser leaves on the bumper, you basically have to go all-in with this decision.

Not sure yet about side skirts. I took off the Veilside pieces so it's the OEM skirts for now. It sort of works the way it is but would be nice to have some carbon fiber accent to tie the front lip to the rear. I may try the Strosek side steps in CF but not totally convinced of them yet.

NA&CH... Thanks man! Wish I had the money. Where did you buy your set from, just in case i look into getting them in the future. Just can't right now, cuz I just proposed to my girl. Gotta save for the wedding... haha..

I usually don't see them in black with that offset. Did you use spacers at all?
