I painted it with Krylon semi-gloss black paint long time ago.

What does CA have to do with it? I see crappy fitment coming in from across the globe. Why do others always feel a need to bash Californians given the chance? Cali rocks dude! Admit it

Anyway... piece looks good OP. If my wagon wasn't a dirt devil I would definitely be inspired to build one of my own.

How did you get the fins to stand up while you applied the the fiberglass?

M4c0770 · 08-07-2012, 09:17 AM

Awesome DIY. Can u post templares or dimenssions?
Great job on the Krylon stuff it looks like the Mature diff.

Niiiice!

dnorton · 08-07-2012, 12:54 PM

I'd like to know how you got it to bend around the upper part of your bumper and license plate area ? That looks like you had a part from ones that are sold and put your piece with/under it ?

Counterfit · 08-07-2012, 01:06 PM

He already posted about that.

hkprofection · 08-07-2012, 08:23 PM

Nice DIY man! I think the car looks great also!

UsernameGoesHere · 08-07-2012, 09:51 PM

Can't believe you all. Looks ricey as ****, especially with that coffee can of a muffler.

No offense to OP, but it really does.

You are an idiot! Lol

ScoobTube007 · 08-07-2012, 10:04 PM

Looks Excellent!
Question, how well is the area around the muffler holding up? Just wondering about the dependability of the plastic board is.

each fin was supported by 4 cans of paint, 2 on each side of the fin, that's how I got that perfect 90 degree angle between base of the diffuser and each fin, then I applied fiberglass in few spots, after few minut I removed the cans and put more fiberglass along the edge

no problem at all. There's about 1 ich gap between diffuser and exhaust. I had to go to San Francisco today and after hour and a half of driving checked the area around the muffler and eveything was fine!

you joined NASIOC less than a week ago and already trolling????
...and what do you drive? Post pics of your car and show us what you have done to it, then you can judge others. FYI...95% of high performance exhausts have coffee can mufflers.
What's your definition of "ricey as ****", explain, because I'm not sure what you are talking about

Uncle Tattoo · 08-08-2012, 08:21 AM

i love reading your DIY's. thumbs up for a good looking project.

axelthrasher · 08-08-2012, 08:34 AM

That really does look nice for a DIY job. A little more sanding and some bondo, then it could be a real show piece.
