finally got around to doing a test fit before it gets resprayed. looks pretty good i reckon.
sorry for the crap photos but weather has been shit...






will get more photos up as soon as it finished...
cheers steve

I reckon it looks awesome unpainted!

Unpainted looks great IMHO! The one thing I don't like about those diffusers is at the ends where it droops down. It should finish smooth and towards the bumper surface.

Like this:

Steve, can you do a straight-back shot?

I notice the sides of the diffuser flare a lot more... hmmm.

the diffuser overall when looking side on, comes out alot more to the 07+ libs because if you look at the difference between the pre-face lift and the face lift model, the extra hump/bump (what ever you like to call it), (on the actual 04-06 stock bumper diffuser), interfears when trying to slide it back under, the only way to overcome this problem is to actually cut the bump and then shave down the edges to became more in line with bar, but i don't think many people will not like to do that, that is why they have made it like this.
clarence,
in what way do you mean the diffuser on the sides flares out alot more, if you mean around the exhaust on the outer ends of the diffuser. yes, thats what i think to but also i had to pull it out a bit when installing it cause it wasn't really in line with the edges of the bar, not the best when working with glass as you know cause you can never really get it right 100%. to be honest it looks like they have used the 07+ model diffuser and worked off that one, because if you notice, like i said the diffuser looks to be swung out when looking side on to get to the height and then filled the gap on the edges and curved the sides to match our bumper if you know what i mean (sorry hard to explain when i can't show you exactly what i mean...

also the bar is getting resprayed black, in a satin finish to match the sti front lip.NOT SILVER.sorry should have said that in the first post.
clarence, i think i now know what your talking about, is it the 2 fins on both sides of the exhaust.

I'd get the carbon one

Clarance i reckon get this one looks good compared to your ah current one

It looks great when directly behind the bar, but from the side I wanna wait to see until it's installed. From the pic below it appears to stick out a bit in the circled area



Looking forward to the better pics

Thanks!

yeah i know thats how it actually is, ill hopefully get it done next week and get some better photos done now that weather is starting to clear up...
i quite like it like that anyway cause when i get my skirts it should meet that outter edge quite perfectly

clarence- i actually wanted to go everything carbon but when i thought about it, if you crack them over a speed hump, gutter, driveway etc. you can't repair it, well you can but won't turn out right. just something to think about cause i scrape my tow hook down my drive way alot. but carbon does look awsome.

This is gonna sound blasphemous... but I actually don't really like carbon fiber anymore. Maybe it's oversaturation, but I reckon simple matt black plastic looks waaaaaaaaay hotter!

what kinda rear skirts you getting?
