Default Custom Rear Diffuser Fins

I bought a universal rear diffuser on ebay, took it apart and modified the fins, wrapped them in 5D CF, and installed them. I think it turned out good! Will be doing the 2 middle fins next.

Not too shabby at all. You have a straight on pic from the back?

Wow it looks really good! Nice Job!

On a side note I can't believe how clean your Tanabe exhaust is... it still looks like you've installed them yesterday.

When I wash and detail the car I go underneath and wipe off the Tanabe. Gotta show it off!

Default Rear Diffuser Completed

I finished and installed the 2 inner fins--I think it turned out good!

I think I'll pursue this in the future as well. Since I have the Tanabe exhaust as well it hangs really low to the floor so whenever my crew is following me they see my axleback all the time.

this is actually not a bad item to get since most aftermarket exhaust with bigger pipes kinda blocks or disrupt the airflow going to the factory diffuser... but then again that oem diffuser like is gonna do anything since the fins are so small, i bet the diffuser on the Camry and Sienna does a better job than the ones we have on the 2IS...
