What are you basing the "functional" part on? The rear diffuser looks a bit off in the center. Too many lines going on and a true diffuser would probably extend farther out past the body line. The front and sides I just don't understand either, sorry.

The rear diffuser will stick out a bit more from the body compared to the stock one. As for the front we are aiming for it to funnel the air directly into the brake air duct. Again this is a rendering and once we play around with the manufacturing of the prototype, some things will change.

We appreciate the feedback guys, keep em coming !

Why not mold the kit around a lowered car, as the majority of people will lower their car one way or another. With a nice kit aimed at lowered cars, you might get more interest.
I like how the kit looks, but I'm with everyone else in that it will scrape once lowered.

Can't really comment on the front as I own a BRZ and the render wouldn't be very applicable, but I love the way the back looks, definitely carbon fiber.

I think it i will be a pain in the butt to wash/clean. IF the rear hangs too low I would be concern with driveway and speed bump. However, it is cool and sure will pick up attentions.

Admittedly i am more of a function over form guy but my opinion is it looks awfully gaudy. The only part that looks OK is the lip, the sides and rear are just..... oof. Right on par with civics with giant hood scoops.

Just my .02.

How are you planning on testing the functionality? CFD, windtunnel testing, or on road testing with sensors?

I wanna see someone make a rear diffuser that also fills the rear spats location, so it's one continuous piece.

We just wanted to get you guys feedback (THANK YOU!):

Would you buy this kit over the current available lip kits?
In carbon fiber or color paint matched?
What would you pay for it?

very nice the wide side skirts....very nice!
