Should I finish the project?

Posting this over here in the RCF section since the RC350 side is slow and I know more of you guys anyways.

As some of you know we were looking to change things up a bit on the RC by doing an LFA inspired triple exit exhaust. The exhaust is installed and sounds really good but in order to pull it off I think the diffuser will have to be done correctly. I am debating scraping the whole project and just going back to stock but can't decide lol. This is a VERY rough mockup only done to see what it "could' look like. The car would also sport a small front lip and side splitters to match. Yay or Nay?

I Got to say i'm a BIG rear diffuser guy, but that looks a bit much! How much does that even weigh? Does it serve any kind of purpose, cause it's definitely not for cosmetics only is it?

The triple exhaust is unique and brash. The multi-fin mockup diffuser is a bit overdone IMO. I vote to continue the project but with a simpler designed rear diffuser.

This is pretty much my opinion also on the rear diffuser, i also voted to finish the project too:thumbup:

Finish the project man, you're doing something no one else has done yet on this car. I think the rear diffuser is a bit too aggressive but if done properly I think it will look nice.

A little too much IMHO but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

To each it's own, don't worry about what other people think, do what makes you feel happy! :thumbup:

Don't make the diameter of the pipes so large... the LFA is much more subdued

I also wouldn't make the diffuser strakes so sharp and angled. Doesn't flow with any other line on the car

Yeah I'm on the same page with you guys on the diffuser being really aggressive (which is why I am back and forth on completely this). Unfortunately since our cars don't have a ton of extra room to route the center exhaust, the pipes aren't completely tucked into the rear bumper. This is why the diffuser has to stick out slightly past the rear bumper in order to cover the crossing pipes. The exhaust was made in two sections so I might just take off the center section for now and put the regular tips back on as well as the original rear bumper and hold off until I can find a company that might have a better rear diffuser design to pull this off.
