You're right... it looks like I'll have to give Harris a holler for the vinyl... Why don't you bring your car out too and we can get a group discount!

I'm looking at the black roof on the Ventross car and that looks sick also.. maybe I'll vinyl both the roof and the rear together. Are you guys thinking gloss or matte on the roof?

I'm really leaning towards this option now. I think it looks good for a more conservative setup:
I do like the Wald and Ventross setups, but I agree with Primecut that you do need a pretty aggressive setup to make it work. I want a more conservative look as well. I should be getting my Lexon rear diffuser next week. I hope it looks good, but time will tell once I get it installed.

Yea I actually saw the Lexon rear diffuser, which I think just came out? It is definitely less radical, but I put it against my car and I wasn't feeling it at all.. It looked kinda like a thick fence.. lol. But who knows, when you install it be sure to post pix.. maybe it'll change my mind!

Yea, they just came out and Clark from VIP Autosalon said I'm the first to get one. So, I will definitely post pics once I install the Lexon diffuser. I sure hope it doesn't look like a thick fence... lol. I think a lot of it depends on what color car you have. I'm thinking with my black F, that it will blend in nicely and be subtle and sporty.

Yea I think I saw yours in person before they shipped it out.. he he. You're right, it probably looks better on dark colors. I was hoping to leave it black, which wouldn't look good for its styling.
