"Type 2" project teaser. :)
 

That is all. I'm not sure if I'm 100% on it yet, the outer vertical strakes are what's holding me up.

Diffuser?

Yeah the outer ones are kinda in your face look at me lol, curve them like the inner ones and scale them back a dad and you'll be golden!!!

That's what I originally wanted but this is the first render.

I dunno, I kinda dig it as is. If anything, just soften the trailing edges of the outer fins.

Any idea on price/timeline at this point, or still too early to tell?

Gimme.

-Yo

I volunteer my car for a test fitting.

Seconded. And I'm like 80 miles closer to Tacoma, so think of the savings!!:D

Finally! I'm still sticking with mine though. :p

I will say that those fins look real babyish.

I like the outer fins actually, more aggressive than the Borla one without going overboard.

Take my monies.

Looks awesome! Will this one match up with the factory rear valance (faux diffuser) more smoothly than the T1?

I think the actual model I will go with uses the same shape outer strakes as the center parts. I have OCD about matching things.

Actually he lives in Fayetteville now so he is local to me :p :cheers:

Yes

And all this time I thought it was a hood ornament :iono:

Ermagerd now I want to come visit.

Lots of NC love in this thread apparently :thumbsup:

I was looking for something a little more subtle. The one you have our right now looks huge lol.

Come hang out!

That was the purpose behind it! And the purpose behind this one.

Would be down for a meet up, or to watch you work on the prototype/fab stuff. Fascinated by that, and want to learn more about it.

Seriously, if you need a somewhat-capable hand or a test mule, let me know!

On a side note: will this version "work" with the OEM-style diffuser/valence extension? Not dead set on keeping it, but just curious :respekt:

Stop this slow burn torture, make it already !

It replaces that part

Ok, so this is the final render that I have actually decided to run with. What do you guys think? Attachment 67963

Do you have any reason for the strakes being rounded vs. angled? Aesthetics, or stability, or economy, ground clearance, or anything? Or just, personal preference?

I'm partial to the strakes/fins in the first design, but really that's just nitpicking. Looks good, now hurry up and make them!

People asked for a tame "street" version. That's what I attempted to deliver. The shape for this purpose is aesthetic. I'm excited to get it onto the car and see how it looks in material form. It's getting cut this week and I'll hopefully either have it shipped or will be picking it up when I go to Portland to pick up my Mitsubishi.

Your original diffuser was on my list of things to get, but that was removed. Why? Because of this. I wanted something functional, and was able to overlook aesthetics for said functional piece.

But a functional piece that looks good while doing it? Yes.

Type 2 is now on my list of things to get.

A form the follows function item... that still looks good is a always an epic win in my book!!

Sooo.... take my money now........ lol

Yep, perfect!
Ohh and the fins don't need to be rounded if that impacts functionality. The main thing for me was that the design is smaller than the BRC (because race car) version so it does not look so out of place on a street car.

Is this the lower profile, daily driver model?

Yes.

And I'm in!

I like it!

Thanks guys. Hopefully I'll be able to get some on car photos in the next few weeks.

On my car right? ;)

I have an odd request, but would you mind taking a quick video as you walk up to the car, and circle around the rear?

When I get the actual parts in, sure thing. I have my prototype on the car now but I think it is ugly.

I can appreciate that. Thanks.

Ugly is better than nothing ;)

I have made it through many lonely nights by that sentence alone. However, my prototype is actually pretty far off from the 'production model'. I have extra rivet lines, its not laser cut, completely different coating, and the vertical strakes are a different shape and much longer.


Are you actually from STILLEN? Out of curiosity, why haven't you guys jumped on the 86 train yet?
