Actually the Rexpeed diffuser has a rolled lip where the support rods are and the lip on the middle part of the diffuser is angled out 45 degrees toward the front of the car. I guess the pics I took really didn't show it. Thanks for your input.

I live on Oahu. I wish I had my car in Hilo, then I could hit up the race track there.

looks great to the alternative of getting a JDM rear if it is cost effective. it would look great on a TB rear....even if it comes in a FRP type. it would be painted to match anyways...

^the JDM rear is definitely very clean but I like this for a few reasons:
- lots of people do the JDM rear so this gives us another option
- if the cost is less than a JDM rear, that is a plus
- IMO, the JDM rear tucks up pretty high which could make me have to drop more money on an added diffuser of some sort
- No modification to the crash beam (I don't care about that personally, but I know a lot of people bring that up)

i dont like the evo 9 rear bumper at all but this does make it look better. thats why i went with the jdm bumper, it looks totally different. for doing something different as well.

This is just my opinion from my experience from installing it. If you are wanting a rear diffuser for a JDM bumper check this out:http://rexpeed.net/new2007/product_d...php?serial=175

Hope this kind of helped you out with your decision. Aloha!
thanks for the info, however thats one ugly diffuser lol

I think it is lame.

Go buy an APR part and keep the companies that develop parts in business.

There's a difference between ripping off a part and doing the same thing at a lower cost. Hell, that's why 98% of us use a Windows computer instead of a Mac!

Go buy an APR part if you want to help them pay for the development costs and stop being
