I'm all over the place. At times, I like the simple clean look of the current one. Other times, want something a bit more interesting. Ahhhh!!!!

I am just the same way. Depends on my mood. Thats bad for me but it keeps things interesting and fun. Fun being a dreamer!

I wonder if there would be any engine heat build up with a diffuser running so far under the motor. I doubt it but I don't pretend to know everything either. Do you know? Thanks

^^^^^ I was thinking the same thing about the center mufflers being covered underneath.

Not sure??

I have an AWE exhaust going on there to. So the tips will be bigger in diameter. A guy on here did it but he had to trim the diffuser a bit where the tips were so they would not rub. But it was underneath the car where you could not see it he said.

He as well drilled a hole for the oil plug. The diffuser covers it. I talked to Vorsteiner and they told me that you had to remove the diffuser to change the oil. I will have to think things over.

That's why this NR piece is appealing. It doesn't cover the oil pan. Not sure why Vorsteiner didn't think of it??

So drilling a hold for the oil pan plug avoided him having to take the piece off?

Can't vouch for these guys, but one guy on here bought the diffuser in the link I posted above.

Yes, he drilled the oil plug hole and trimmed a bit around the AWE exhaust tips. That other link has pretty cool stuff you sent. Thanks

I don't care for that at all. Too much plastic. No offense. Be interesting to see what most think. Maybe its a hit! If it would have went straight across just above the center vent I would like it, and leave paint above where the plate is.

I like black skirts with most exterior colors, but I would have them painted gloss black.

Unpainted plastic doesn't just look funny to some as such, but there is a problem that it ages differently than car paint. Plus touchup is possible on paint but unpainted is unfixable.
