Default non CF one for sale

I have decided to possibly sell the car, so I am not going to put it on. I got it a couple weeks ago and it has only been out of the box to inspect/ test fit. Nothing wrong with it.

Looking to recoup most of what I paid for it, $325 + shipping

Email me at blownbird97@yahoo.com

Thx

Is the exhaust opening the same size as stock or does it give up some room? I guess what I am trying to ask is how big of a tip can you fit back there. I wanting to run some 7.5" Mecham power ovals.

I'm pretty sure your going to give up some space, depending on the width of the diffuser that is right around the exhaust openings.

Not sure size wise how comparable those Mechams would be to mine. I have b+b quad tips and they are definitely touching. If not pretty much pressed against them a bit towards the narrow part of the opening. I just have to adjust them forward a bit.

Please post some photos of both of these mods when finished.

I like the idea a lot, but think it would look a lot better if the diffuser fins had a slight curve under the car and not just straight down. I think it makes it look like an add-on and not like it was meant to be there. If they had a slight curve i would have gotten it

Wow THIS^ my friend you nailed it! Everytime I looked at this diffuser something felt "off" and honestly a tad ricerish. It is growing on me but damn, 458 Italia style with the curved fins instead of straight boxed cuts FTMFW !! Someone photochop this now!

I'm kinda suprised too. I would email them but I hate to bug them especially when I'm not ready to spend the money just yet. I hate for them to waste their time. I know they always have a lot going on.

I don't have an unaltered one here to measure so I can't give you an exact number but I can tell you that it completely follows the lines of the bumper underneath so the exhaust opening is only the thickness of the fiberglass (about 1/8") smaller than a stock TA opening. You still should get the exact measurement since you know what you want to do in your head but I hope this helps.

Any chance you can start making one with these contoured fins? What would it take to make this justifiable for you?
