GTR Proto Diffuser - Finished!!!!

After a much longer time than I thought, I finally finished the diffuser. I painted it semi gloss black. The pics still show glare so the white that u see is glare. The other thread shows the process I went through. Here are some pics. Ill install it tomorrow (4 bolts) and take day time pics. Since its so shiney Let me know what you think.

Well, the bumper does curve slightly. It would be easy to grind off a bit on the ends to match the curve and repaint.

I need to hook up LED light. Ill do that now. Ill get pics in day time and at night.

i think if you do that it will be sick if you want to put in the extra work it already looks good but that would match perfect and look better

I took your advise. Good advise!!! You were right. I didnt think it would make much difference, but in pics u can see the curve of bumper doesnt quite match the straight diffuser. Ill do some final reshaping, sanding, and painting and get pics. While paint is drying ,Ill get electrical hooked up for the LED brake light

I curved the edge to follow the bumper as suggested and it was a great suggestion as you see by the pics. I tapped in to the brake light so teh LED light lights up. Unfortunately one of the LEDs doesnt seem to be lit. Im not tearing in to the undertray to repair it. It is very bright and works great. I routed the wiring over the inside of the bumper so it isn't near the muffler. Anyway, check out these daytime pics and let me know what you all think.

looks like the left side of the led is out. also does it seperate when turning meaning does one side blink when turning. that would add a little more awesomeness to it.

Yes, left LED went out sometime in transition and I cant imagine why. I thought about having one side blinking for turning, but Im keeping it as a brake light because the light is pretty small and its hard to tell left and right since the side LEDs are not facing straight back.

Here are some more pics:

Well, it took effort because I hadnt worked with fiberglass before. Now that I have, I would be better at it. Its a learning curve issue. Was it worth it? Yes. I enjoyed making it, even though it took time.

Good news. The left LED started working again so they all work!!! Yippeee!!! It was kinda buggin me. It looks even better now. At night it looks wild with the LED tails, the LED WRX brake light on my spoiler and the lower LED on the diffuser.

Hey Andy, Good to see you. I actually love the tails with your overlays, but the LEDs have a different look. If I could make LED tails with your overlays that would be the best. Hows the NSX? PM me pics
