Unofficial Pictures ofthe Back End Thread!

96xt: If you had a mock piece, we could probably build a prototype out of ABS for you depending on the angles. How are the fins attached to each piece of aluminum?

Would fitment for an 02+ bumper be any different? I'll be interested in tackling this project at our shop if you can give me more details...

RYU - do you have any pictures of the one you have? If you don't mind sharing that is.

I don't mind sharing at all. It's just that, in terms of DIY projects, my exhaust build has taken up most of my free time right now. I have cut all the diffuser pieces and I can probably mock it up for you fairly quickly.

The goal for me was to have something effective and functional. After reading up on underbody aerodynamics I realized its too much effort to do it properly so since this is just for looks (and adds weight to the car) it's kind of taken a back seat for me.

Take the extra step and round the edges a bit and use black crinkle paint :)

Here's a pseudo home made version for an S2k. Looks like ABS but it's alum and will withstand the heat and not warp or melt.

Good luck!

96cst - I like that diffuser! I'm sure it will look good once painted. I would definitely buy one if you sold it.

Thanks. Once I perfect it I will post better pictures of it and if you are still interested I will make you one.

s4play - Each piece has a 90 degree bend that and bolts up the the top plate with 3 small bolts. (just like RYU's picture.)

On the 02+, I have no idea what the bottom of that rear skirt looks like. I should be able to make the mountings for it. I will try and look at someone locally to see fit I can make it work. I think the bigger issue with my diffuser will be the exhaust, my DC muffler is kinda big and hangs low so the diffuser stops about .25 inches before the muffler. People with different mufflers will have to work around it.

I dont mind sending you a mark up. I will let you know once i am done with it.

RYU - that looks great man. Yes my piece would def. be just more for looks as well. Thanks for sharing the pictures.


Ok so last night I painted the top and the end fins in black and I only had enough to cover one and a half (lol) of the 2 center fins with the CarbonFiber vinyl. I like the way the C/F vinyl came out. I am leaning more towards the C/F vinyl.

Will post pictures as soon as I can free up some time.

Thanks
 
I had some time yesterday and got a lot of work done. I painted the top and the 2 end corners black, and the 2 center fins I covered in Carbonfiber vinyl. I didn't have enough c/f vinyl for both so the 2nd one I kinda just put bits and pieces together to just see what it looks like. I have ordered more c/f vinyl and should be here mid next wk.

Here are pictures.

Let me know what you guys think.

looks really good!
 
I think it looks good too, but those fins MUST have round corners for street use (plus it would look a bit more "clean") ... otherwise if you get bottomed, you can get stuck!

Great job never the less!

Well the Ford GT's rear diffusor have pretty sharp edges too. So all he needed to do is just round off the edges ever so slightly like this
