I was thinking of the same idea, but I think you need to somehow put two more winglets on the other side of the pipes (one on each side, maybe even add one more between the pipes). If someone could photoshop that I think it would look MUCH better!

It's ok, the work looks great, just not for me.

To me it should either have bling, function or both.

I just didn't see the point. I prefer exhaust plates.

I would put something like a 30 degree chamfer on the ends instead of those large rads. A small rad where the chamfer meets the horizontal and vertical sections would also help to blend things in.

I'm kind of changing the theme of my car from chrome and stock to a little more racey. Should have Black 18/19 Spyders this week, tinted the windows today and I've got a carbon ZR hood on the way. I've scrapped the diffuser idea.

I may make a carbon fiber panel with the logo instead of the chrome for now.

To build the diffuser I think would look like it belongs it will be a little bigger project than I'm up for right now. It will be a good winter project when it's a too nasty to get the car out of the garage.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

Rob
