Take them off +1!
The diffuser completes the rear enough.

I think I agree with some of the great aesthetically-inclined opinions in this thread. The valences add to the rear too much....it's all just too busy.

At some angles or when the Berlina is gleaming, the valences look like they are apart of the bumper and hide the gaping holes the J's diffuser creates where it doesn't meet the AP1 bumper.

The wing and the diffuser are staying. There'll be some customization to those things though to set it off a bit more (if I can pull it off....and no, there won't e any 24k gold carat dipping or coatin action going on).

...also, another option to consider was to mold the valences into the bumper cover. As for sideskirts, the car will be using J's Racing sideskirts.

I really dont think the valences make it look THAT different, I personally would go wingless, or get a J's Racing wing, the mugen ss wing doesnt look right.

Leave or lose the valences, either way good

Lose the mugen wing

Ass end looks too "heavy" with the valences and diffuser together. I'd more inclined to lose both and go with a different bumper altogether whilst keeping the Mugen spoiler
