Default Custom diffuser project

Hey everyone ---- I'm in process on my custom rear diffuser --


I've got the prelim core modeled and fit to the bumper and subframe

--- But I could use some input before the glass goes on so..

I'm looking for constructive crit (but I'm ready for the flames..)


so here are a couple of pictures (blue line is PS)
remember this is just foam -
final peice won't be white....








I realize these pictures aren't the best -- if any one wants to see the thing from another angle ask ---
I'm going to get some "classic style" mirror shots tommorrow in the daylight


Thanks

id add something on the end towards the location of the exhaust...its seems a little unsymmetrical since the left side has something there and the right side just ends...

I started w/ the Feel's piece for reference --



and ended up with it being a cross between the Feel's and the TopSecret

You can see in the photo that the area behind my wheels is already delt w/ by the C-west bumper which has pretty thorough aero work.

My diffuser extends all the way up to the cross bar -- i have an axcess hole for the jack point on the rear diff...

New photos --

I worked on it some more today...

I'm thinking of just going w/ the center piece. I can always add the sides later





what do you think?

not sure how you're doing to do the right side seeing how the exhaust really interferes with the whole design.
