Hey can you show me a picture of what you are talking about?

Yes I can, but after reviewing your designs, I think I was just confused. I thought there was an obstruction where there isn't one. If you're still curious, I'm happy to draw it out for you, otherwise, forget I said anything.

Looks good but I would get ride of that square light and leave the stock light.

Just a couple thoughts:

1-Personally I would keep the new design but modify it to go back to just 2 fins like the original rather than 4. Seems too busy like they are fighting with each over space. Two fins lets you have a more balanced look similar that flows better with the car.

2-I know it's a rough draft but just wanted to point out the radius is a bit too large and sharp on the new render but I'm sure that's obvious as the sketches are right on.

check out the new update

Looks a lot better IMHO. I think you are on the right track. Just need to clean up integration of the light and tidy up I'd say. Nice work!

hmm.. should`ve painted the bumper beam black when I had the chance.. oh well that bumper will come off eventually

mokinbird87 · 04-07-2014, 03:20 AM

updated. I think I like it without the 2nd part that covers up the bumper. I think my package will have two parts: 1. part that covers up the bumper beam, 2. the diffuser that covers the muffler section.

I really like where this is going, reminds me a lot of the Elise rear-diffuser mod somebody did (http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30148) but a little bit cleaner, minus the need for custom exhaust. Keep up the updates!

nice in for more info!

Looks awesome so far. Must feel great to finally get some foam board in there and have something tangible in front of you!

haha you`re in CT. I would feel bad selling you this one cuz it`s been in an accident. I can later sell it to you for a cheap price I guess. it`s got two small dents that is barely noticeable.

oh man this is exciting , I wonder how much something like this would cost
