Diffuser Add On?
 
I've been looking for quite some time at what something like the below picture is.

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/attac...1&d=1421529586

Like I said I've been looking for quite some time and can't seem to get the right name of the add ons for the rear diffuser of our frs as pictured above. I was interested in more pictures and what it takes to get the quad add ons just like the one on Valenti's car. Are they are ons or something else, what is the actual name for these? I like these due to the lip that is attached to them and goes along the bottom of the bumper.

I know my wording is horrible and i'm not super clear but any help would be greatly appreciated!:thumbup:

Modellista makes a garnish for the rear, as well as TRD. Here are a few images from Google -

Both of these are Modellista garnishes (I believe) -

and a few images of the TRD - this requires some cutting, alteration to be done to the diffuser -

Hard to tell because the bottom is in so much shadow but I think it is just a TRD bumper with carbon fiber trim.

Look very closely to both of the pictures;

The valenti one is our stock bumper with the add-ons that extend along the sides of the rear bumper as well. I know it's hard due to it being a black car, but there are some differences between the valenti one and the TRD one.

another hint is that the holes for the tow hooks on the trd are round while the stock rear bumper for the frs are squared.

Not "stock" either though since the dual tips won't fit. May have been cut open I suppose but cant imagine them doing a butcher job on it.
Now you have made me curious as well.

I know that it's not completely stock because they have had to cut it in order to get that quad tip add on there somehow. But I meant stock as is the stock bumper that comes on our cars from the factory and not the trd one.

The only problem with this is that it doesn't flow well with the plastic of the rear bumper itself. Esthetically speaking that is...

I think it would flow better if the rear bumper plastic part was also carbon fiber, or they molded it together and then either painted it or something like that.

Not to be a wise-ass but...

Shoot Valenti Japan an email and see what they say. ;)

Tcoat 11-23-2015 02:56 PM

It almost looks like they simply used the TRD inserts as models and molded up something custom maybe? I can't find anything anywhere like them.

Unfortunately, most of their contact information is their phone numbers and it's just a little hard to figure out the website in japanese :D
