I did the GS350 diffuser & exhaust modification on my GS450h. Now I am facing an issue. Apparently the exhaust tips cannot touch the diffuser since they get to hot. This leaves an area open where a lot of light bleeds through and from behind the ugly tailpipes are visible. See picture below:




Has anyone managed to cover that up?

 

Just spray the exhaust black....

 

I think mine has some kind of mesh cover covering that area. I don't think mine is that visible and I keep forgetting to take pics of it..

 

Thanks, this is something I'll do anyway. Although I am not sure if this has the complete desired effect. But it's cheap enough to do.

I'll post the result anyway.

 

Thanks, if you can post some pics later on, I'd love to see that.

 

Sorry, it's not a mesh cover, but I mean that thing that's covering the exhaust tips, u can see it from the bottom here. Do u have that?

 

Haven't seen anything on this modification. Could somebody please explain what exactly is being done and why..

 

I think so. Sorry for the bad quality image, I just had to crawl under the car :

 

He went from GSh rear diffuser to regular GS diffuser with the dual chrome tips.

 

Yup, GS450h to GS350 diffuser mod.

I went from this:


To this:

 

My mufflers are black!! lol No wonder I couldn't see it.

 

Ah Thanks for the pic! Before I pursue anything else, I'll spray it black.

 

AHHH! I didn't know the GSh only had the single.. very nice upgrade indeed!

If you ever want to convert to the single projector headlights, let me know. I'll take one for the team and swap you.

 

I don't know if the GSh has single exhaust, but he didn't have any chrome tips before.

 

two exhausts, tips pointed downwards. However they are not symetrical.
