Smile RE Amemiya Carbon fiber rear side diffuser installed

Just installed these side diffusers I got back in Jan from Tokyo autosalon. These really made my 8 more aggressive. By looking at them thses are really functional. It was very to install. I did in 10 min.

I'm not too sure they are functional.

The rear may help a little.

You should paint them blue.

In my honest opinion, I don't think it flows well with your car.

I know another company was throwing around copying these, I can't see evo-r doing it without having the front and/or sides though...

eah I hear you there 9k. But man I do think they look good. I think with the sides you have they would not seem as (rice) as they do in the pics and trust me I am not a big fan of Rice. I can see these looking like crap with only a none appearance package or otherwise..... or on a funny color.

I hate to say it but I think these would look like crap on a canary yellow. I think they would do best on a VR or GG. What is the cost of these or the knock offs?
