Awesome thanks!!

I totally understand and am with you. It looks great on that car and especially that RB wide car with fatty tires but its just not for me. Like you said you can't please everybody.

I like how it comes up, curved, to meet the black plastic part of the bumper. One of the main reasons why I am not a fan of the driveway labs one is because it just shoots straight out, it looks out of place to my eyes.

even if you guys end up not producing one with less aggressive fins I'd probably end up buying one and shaving it down myself... but... I'd hate to do that to your piece of art... i mean design haha.

Same. If it's a bit more laid back in design I'll buy it ASAP as I love how it fits the lines of the car.

Um...wow. I think I'm in love. That is a well done clean looking car and I love that color. I would opt for all blue, but love it.

Couple quality photos of mine:



Having some rattles starting to show up. Need todo some more tweaking, probably need something soft between the metal attach points since I'm not using spacers.

Looks great man! Rattles make me think you missed tightening down something. There are so many nuts/bolts to tighten, it's easy to miss one. I haven't heard a peep out of mine.

Something probably just loosened up, not too worried about it.

Got a minor rattle on mine only on idle. The exhaust doesn't touch the diffuser. Will chase the rattle down and dampen it this weekend.

We're looking for someone with an RS 1.0 or TRD bumper who could grab a measurement for us. We are needing a measurement from the bracket (show at the tip of the tape measure below) down to the lowest point of the rear bumper. If someone could snag this measurement, we believe we can make a rather educated guess if it will fit these rear bumpers. We have and continue to get asked if it will fit with this rear bumper so we would like to clear this up . Thank in advance for anyone who does this for us.



I am also tracking down locals in the Phoenix area who will allow me to test fit! Hopefully I can find one.

Video from Adrian ( @Hyper4mance2k ) on his diffuser and diff/suspension cover install.

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pTPPN3JKV4"]Velox Motorsports Diffuser & differential covers - YouTube[/ame]

He said that the series blue/jdm underpanels fit together very well with the diff/suspension covers after taking off about a 1/2" of the rear lip on the plastic JDM covers.

I am attempting to meet up with a RS 1.0 owner the following week to test fit the diffuser on his car. I believe it will fit after getting measurements from another owner.

@NotEric6

As promised, I tracked down the rattle today. It was on the passenger side middle strake. It only seems to vibrate between 900 RPM to 1000 RPM. Touching it with my finger completely stops the rattle. Will put small strip of peel and stick Dynamat on it tomorrow (top side). That should dampen it right quick.
