Due to the international shippingtime my diffuser hasn't arrived yet.
But from what I can see from your pictures all looks great - can't wait to get mine.

The side pieces look awesome!
I will for sure sign up for the groupbuy of this (without the "step" will be my choice).
I'm ready to order and pay.

I was talking to him about it, he said he would have a full undertray/splitter combo, it looks promising. I am in for it when it comes, said it would mate up to out current diffuser and be similar to the PWD JDM undertray. Sorry GP if im spilling some secrets, i will delete this if you dont want it out there yet! =P +1 for GPFab


Quote from the man himself: "A lot of the companies selling "splitters" are only really selling a small piece of trim that bolts under the lip, a true splitter should extend all the way to the back of the engine and cover most of the front underside of the car. This is the only way to properly split the pressure zones on the vehicle to have a functional splitter.

I will likely break the diffuser into 3 segments, a front splitter portion that would extend from the lip to just behind the engine, a mid section that would span from there to the rear diffuser and of course the rear diffuser. I will probably add side diffusers at some point as well. It will be very similar to the Password JDM kit but will be aluminum and be of a slightly different design, much like this one. I will probably just have a channel cut for the exhaust to hang out a bit vs the molded section and I will probably break the center piece into 2 pieces to cut down on shipping costs."

I haven't put mine on yet due to time constraints, but I was able to hold up the rear to the bumper to kind of get an idea for it.

I'm a little worried as to how much clearance this takes away from the rear. I dd my car and I always take the dips from the side. I haven't scraped the front yet, so how will that compare with the rear? Am I more like to scrape the rear thN the front now?
