Worked on the rear side piece a bit today, I basically moved it over 1/2" to clear the OEM AP2 muffler and popped it out the side to create a ledge. Im sure it wont' be for everyone but I kinda like the aggressive styling. I could probably make 2 versions of the side pieces, on that sits flush under the bumper and one that comes out to match the front splitter I will be doing.

Decals arrived one week late....



Im going to smooth out the profile a bit, notice how it "bumps" in a bit too aggressively half way back.





and without.



One more.



Give me some feedback and we can make some changes.

Really difficult to see from most of these shots. I think I would prefer the side pieces to mount either underneath/inside the bumper or flush. Not really feeling the protruded edge. My opinion might change if, for example, your front end diffuser looked similar to the Coastal Metals lip (also protruded outward.

i am more on the flush seen. looks good though. and do you plan on taking a inner panel/rear bumper picture? or i guess will it serve as an inner panel liner or a parachute?

i think that if your going to have the diffuser flush, then the side pieces have to be flush also, but i like how that looks! i might want my diffuser to stick out a little if the side piece stick out a little. Giggty! i cant wait to order the side pieces! also would you ever think about making some side diffuser like the downforce side diffuser?

i think we need more and better shots to make up our mind.

but instinctively flush option is preffered.

I can make out what it would look like with it sticking out, and I love it. Just let me know when they are ready to go and I'll order a set.
Just wondering how big your planning on making the front splitter?
Will it look similar to this: DIY front splitter
Because if it is I will jump on that thing like a....like a...something. You know.
