I think it looks real good. Could you have extended it a little more? If so I think would complete it!

Looks like you came up 1" short on the passenger side front splitter. You tracking this bad boy or just going for a track inspired look? Props on DIY.

Yes i could have but i wanted it to stop right by the tow hooks so the mufflers would still be visible.

Interesting rear diffuser. When I had my GS I wanted to do a similar universal rear diffuser like that. Looks good.

Already discussed in this thread.

No, I couldn't find an abflug rep anywhere and I wasn't willing to spend abflug money for a diffuser. I searched and searched and decided to use a replica varis center diffuser for the evo 7-9. It ended up arriving from Malaysia damaged. The seller sent me a replacement. The shipping mishap ended up being a good thing because I didn't like how narrow it was. I knew the dimensions before I purchased it and thought it would look ok. I ended up sectioning them both and using a section from the damaged one to extend the good one. I ended it from 27 to 33.5 inches.

As for mounting, right now it only has 4 attachment points. The car has 2 threaded studs above the mufflers. I put coupling nuts on some threaded rods. Attached the coupling nut on one end of the rod to the stud. On the other end, I used a machine screw to hold the diffuser against the coupling nut. For the other two attachment points, I used 6x60 mm screws and mounted the diffuser to the bumper tab mounts.

I also have 2 hooks screwed into the diffuser. I'm going to tie those into the tow hooks using back straps today.

I was trying to fill the gap between the mufflers. I prefer the oem bumper over the tte lip anyway.

the TTE rear diffuser piece would flow much better IMO... There's one for sale in the classifieds.. That add on piece that u you have really takes away from the rear end... I would have left it stock but thats just my opinion.. Your car looks so good tiger just not feeling that rear diffuser thing...

You're entitled to your opinion, but I really dislike the tte rear lip. I knew some people wouldn't like the diffuser/splitter combo and some would. You don't normally see these items on a gs. I like them though and that's all that matters.
