Weswork's SGM F update
 

Well, finally got my Arkym diffuser and rear spoiler installed. Took a few shots last weekend while the car was clean. :D Although I have a previous thread with pics of the car unfortunately all the pic links are dead since Webshots went under and that is where they were hosted. Got a new account with Flickr so hopefully these will last awhile. At least until I can get some real shots done. These are just mine and i have no photoshop/retouch skills. Have a pretty good list of things done to the car both cosmetically and performance wise. Still not quite done but don't know when I will have the funds and/or the few additional things I want will be available - Novel headers (w/cat insert) and TRD hood. Oh well...

Although it was a lot of extra cost and work involved I had the bodyshop some blending and paintwork with the rear bumper cap and diffuser. Although the fitment of the Arkym pieces is good I wanted a little bit more OEM look as opposed to it seeming tacked on. I am happy with it but it may not suit everyone. They actually molded it to the rear bumper cap and then painted/blended the top ledge body color with a straight cut line along the top ledge so that the "face" remains exposed CF. Here are some more close up pics to illustrate what I mean. Its the details. :D

I like the seamless look of the Arkym. Even with just the double sided tape, some of the adhesive still leaves a slight mini gap that I've seen on other diffusers with Toms, WALD, and Arkym. It's definitely a nice look, and it turned out great. Looking forward to the interior pics!

Also, if interested there are some more shots I took that I didn't put in the thread but, that are on Flickr. If you click on the Flickr link or image number it should take you to the album.
