I gotta give props again for creativity to DIY skills, but it just doesn't look right IMO. Maybe if the fins were fatter and a little bit shorter?

Really? Aluminum and cardboard wrapped in fake CF to make a diffuser that has not been tested in anyway so it could be hurting the aerodynamics of the car? IMHO, this forum is getting being saturated with more ricer influence on a daily basis. If 1/2 you guys saw some of the mods I see here on a civic, you'd be screaming ricer. But for some reason it's ok to put all of this crap in/on a lexus. To each his own I guess...

its a aluminum shell and a plastic honeycomb core, i said cardboard cuz i dont know what it is exactly...aerodynamics r fine since it corresponds with the existing diffusers on the car, besides its so small it wont matter unless im going 250 miles per hour :P

+1 for creativity. Diffuser looks arite, if it were me, i would have done wider fins and less of them, maybe just three fins.
