Those look really good. Hoping someone who has now received one will post up comments on how the install was, how the fit is, etc.

I think a couple guys are going to receive them today actually. They ship out of California and a couple guys were back east. The first day we shipped 4 and one of them isn't on the forum.

Default Cars tore apart

Sorry cars tore apart and only had ten minutes to mock up before I headed back to work but it lined up very nicely and forms perfect to the car

Sorry for crappy pictures but better than nothing

Heads up for the guys wanting carbon. I was told today by manufacturing that if I get a group buy going they'd be willing to get the carbon started. We would need to pre-sell a minimum of 10-15 to get it going. They would of course fit as good as these urethane ones. If there is interest for them I'll get a group buy going on carbon, but these have to be paid up front, that way they can put us up front.

I am assuming that the vents for the muffler are not needed. The diffuser blocks the vents. Will there be any heat buildup back there that will affect the panels? As shown in the pix below I already have issues from heat buildup on the lower right back.

Shouldn't be needed, but that exhaust will not work with this diffuser. One of the very few that this wont work with.
