This piece really fits up nice to the rear fascia. I have one vendor very interested in this and will be taking it to him next week to get the ball rolling on possible molds. I will post pics of the finished primered diffuser on and off the car this coming week. Mounting is a snap. No cutting the rear bumper fascia or drilling holes needed. Uses the four mounting tabs above the exhaust tips for an anchor point plus four screw inserts in the vent area with a backing plate. Also uses some 3M double sided body tape .

I have been wanting one for years and cannot wait!! I will definitely be in line for a carbon fiber version!!!!
(Ps- for those asking for a dual tip version then refer to only other production rear diffuser by Breathless Performance) made using the B&B dual tip bullets.

I have this just sitting on the rear fascia. Not securely mounted. I tried to listen to a lot of different input from members and found a way to mount the diffuser with absolutely no cutting or drilling on the rear bumper.

Here are a few pics with exhaust installed. When installing the diffuser the exhaust does not have to be removed. Just drop the two rubber hangers so the exhaust tips will drop down and the diffuser just slides into place. No clearance issues at all with exhaust. Not sure about the stock exhaust yet. Going to try it on one with the factory mufflers this week.

Yes. I took this on so that it could be reproduced. I was wanting one and like everyone else was in hope that one of the vendors would come up with one. After a few dead end threads I decided to do it myself. Had the vision of how to do it just took a while to round up the parts and materials to do it. I am talking to one vendor that is interested and will be meeting with him next week.

Thanks for all the positive input. Any feed back and suggestions I read and take into consideration. I want this to be a piece that will appeal to a vast majority. I consider this a piece that was concieved and evolved from the ideals and desires of everyone on this forum that wanted something different to personalize there car.

Price it right and you will make a killing since you are the only one...Maybe even start thinking about pricing and group buys or pre orders because you will be swamped with more then you can handle if it comes to life.
