Soooo sweet! I like the vents (I'm assuming they're functional) in between the fins, too. So much nicer than all the hondas with circles cut out of their rear bumpers... You know what I'm talkin about

I just don't want to spend a lot of time fabricating something up that no one likes.
here are the photos of the rear of the sportback - sorry about the 3 of the shots - taken with the phone

It is very different. Do you know if the stock diffuser is removable? If it is, I may be able to order it or mold it from another car. Then I can use that as a base for both.

IMO, there are too much of a difference between the two.

Rear diffuser for Sportback has been made from the factory.

P/N: MZ314362

may need a bit of customizing to do.

So why not do two different version for Sedan & SB?

Because of time, I do this in my free time.
Because of money, I use my money, and I just broke even with the last project.
Because of demand, not that many RA SB out there. I will be hard to get someone to produce it.
But if I can make a universal one, it could fix everything. I was thinking about making some kind of flashing kit for it.

Not doubting your talents but I can model it in a real 3d program like unigraphics solidworks solidedge or inventor. I have access to all of them and 3d modeling is part of my profession. If you send me the dimensions in the isometric views I could do it in any of those programs. Autocad isnt really a 3d modeling program Inventor is Autodesks 3d modeling program.

I could draw some 3d views up. The measurements will be tough. Since it is all concept still.
