That would be awesome, its priced at $270 obo right now but hes asking an extra $100 for the modification to add 2 more fins. If we can get a GB going, i bet he would be pleased.

Mine was modified more than just two fins just to let you know if you are wanting the same modifications. Mine has a more scalloped edge on all the fins, two more fins were added in the center, and the rear section has been modified to be flush with the back end of the bumper.

On the rear diff. He does offer on ebay a small access section just under the diff. As well, it is just 5 bolts to remove and I can take the front section off without the access section.

$300 for this diffuser is a hell of a deal. It cost me about that much just in the materials and powder coating to build my own, that's not including my time to design, fit and install it, which I have to admit was fun. I was considering producing mine but it would easily cost 3 times this so I didn't think it would be worth my trouble, granted I think mine looks better and is more involved since I have the rear corner sections behind each wheel, which this one doesn't. This diffuser is a well executed design and worth every penny

I agree with you. This is a CAD designed diffuser, and I think it is CNC cut. He has the side pieces behind the wheels to match in the works. I have seen samples, but do not have them yet. This is a functional piece with an excellent design, stainless hardware. He is priced under the fiberglass versions and those will not fit as good. Some of the most expensive diffusers do not even give you mounting hardware. You are on your own on most.

This is a nice piece, I am wondering if it will fit with a ptuning dual exhaust? If I sent him some pics do you think he could modifiy it slightly.

It clears my aftermarket exhaust by about 1/2 to 1 inch. I sent him a paint shop pic on my mods and that is how he made it
