Not being ignored. We apologize, but we have been extremely busy around the shop(which is a good thing). Coming back from 86 Fest and now getting prepared to head to SCCA Solo Nationals next week and add to that Jeremy and myself are the local event coordinators for our SCCA region, our plates are quite full. Yeah, I know, excuses...excuses....

We have not received our first production batch of these yet and we have not found a good option for powdercoating such a large item. Now, I know you don't want to pay an arm and a leg for the powdercoat option, so we are looking for the best cost effective way of doing it. Unfortunately, it is taking some time, but hey we don't even have these to ship yet....so at least you aren't the only one waiting on something lol, not sure if that will make you feel better or not.

Either way, we hope to have something for you soon!

Cheers!

Hey, from all the pics posted I think my exhaust should fit, but can you confirm? It's the Borla catback:


Gonna email Jeremy for a price quote real soon for this diffuser plus some other items I'm interested in from their shop.

I think you should just plasticoat one. easy to touch up and easy to remove / change colors if you decide too down the road. That or you could rattle can it with some appliance epoxy spray paint.

Should fit just fine. Do the exhaust tips hang below the bottom edge of the bumper?

Well, they hang out of the exhaust O cutouts, but they are above the two curves that reach to the very bottom of the bumper (where I think there are 2 attachment points for your diffuser). Here's some close up pics to show what I mean:

Nah, that'll fit just fine. The attachment points will be unaffected and clearance should be just fine.

I need this so bad, someone donate me a bit of cash so I can have more downforce and thus, drive safer.
