DAYUMMMMMMMMM. If I had that setup, I might even opt for dual exhaust tips as opposed to quads. And for those two tips, I'd go like...4" tips at least

Beedub,
I do need to reposition the exhaust. It's kind of out of place.

Looks good It doesn't look like it's off aligned too much. Try this posted by crfine88 => http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthre...hlight=exhaust

What 3" tips did you get? Got a link to share? Did you have to get it welded on or used rivets on the OE location?

if they made it in regular plastic i would probably get this. you cant even see the carbon piece, especially when the car is lowered. looks great though, just way overpriced for a piece like this.

Can you give us some more photos from other angles? Something like a 3/4 view of the back from high and low angles?

All of his body parts and suspension is now on Brett Kings M coupe.(famed helmet painter) His is also white.

We have spoken about having molds made from them. I did some CF work/design with him on another project. Very sharp fella.

to the point of plastic versions.....I can't imagine anyone going to the expense of making injection molds for such a niche item. Its bad enough cost wise to build composites molds with this in mind.

speaking of diffusers......
I believe there is some serious pent up demand in this niche market for whoever gets to market with a good piece. (hint) (hint)

I know, I know ! I'm working on it. I have a mocked up part in study. Trying to determine finer points before I pull the trigger for a plug start-up. Its not too far off from that blue car rendering actually.

Plastic around the exhaust isn't a good idea ofc, but I'm sure you know what to do.

Romans car was the most seriously sexy beast I've seen in MC form. Any body bits u can explore/make from that - sign me up. Wasn't it a bunch of one-off items?
