Sounds like a good idea with that lip! I think a lip spoiler for your trunk would look nice as well, like the vertex lip.

pdx: SO true!
hopefully this one works out for you and you're back out on the track before you know it.

I hear pdx is going to get a VARIS Carbonfiber lip spoiler! Go big or go home, right PDXHAK?

we need someone to fab up a sick rear diffuser already. I talked to Ken @ Shine a while back and he said that the Varis regular rear diffuser might work

hint hint nudge nudge

What do you think of this photochop? I'm thinking about buying a MS rear and cutting out the diffuser portion. It would be painted flat black.

Rev: sounds to me like YOU'RE the one who needs to pick up a few Varis parts, not pdx.

Rev, that diffuser is too aggressive for me.

Not the best picture but Leg Sport has a diffuser as well.

Thanks guys! I wish we had more diffuser options. I hate the idea of cutting up a MS rear because they stopped production. But it will be for a good cause and it will be a unique mod. If I do it then it will be painted black. Most likely satin black. Same with the rear section of the rear pieces.
