What's up fellas! Installed the JIC Magic Spartan Type 1, full titanium, and it fit a little close to the factory bumper cut-out for the factory exhaust system (melting issues) - and wasn't showing the resonator or blue burnt tip very well. That, and there are two cut-outs, and I now have one tip.

So... I got out my trusty jigsaw and got to modifying. Here is the result of some hacking, trimming, and finishing the cut. NOW, I'm going to add a piece to finish the look - like a rear diffuser or whatnot:

Photoshop gurus and visual people: help me with some cool ideas on what type of piece to fabricate, whether it has "fins" like a true racing diffuser, or if it's just a simple piece to cover the steel bumper frame and finish the rear end. Something that accentuates the single titanium tip would be good. Please specify material - be it dry carbon fiber (a buddy knows a guy), painted plastic, metal, mesh, whatever.

Thanks for indulging me!











Overall look of the car: a "racing" theme: weight reduction, N/A power, racing seats, no rear seat, etc, but keeping it simple and clean, so I don't want the diffuser to look TOO wild.

 

something like the veilside with fins and 1 cutout.

 

^^^ i think that would go nice nice nice idea

 

how about something like this?

 

You should paint the rear-bumper support, you can see the silver sticking out a bit.

Also what seats do you have? I want to see pics!

 

good call. This would look really good.

 

those rims are money! and im sort of like the single exhaust setup

 

Wish someone made something like that for us.

 

Wow, nice cut. Great craftsmanship. I like the path you're going with you're car. More pics of the interior!

 

Thanks for the ideas fellas, and keep them coming!!! I really like the diffuser on that STi. I'll probably do something similar to it. I'm also thinking about a diffuser that slightly sticks out from the cut part of my bumper, so it would be visible from the side as well as the back.

Something NOT quite as big or noticeable as this:



Maybe a combination of the Viper and this GTR. Thin, seperate matte black piece - blade design like the Viper, with a single bar and only two central blades, or even two central blades, and one blade on each end - just to the inside of the cut rear bumper.



I could also just do a single painted bar above the exhaust tip to cover the bumper frame, and "factory mesh" between that and the bumper itself; like this, but with mesh between:



Keep the ideas coming guys!

 

Coupe interior pics of the racing seats - not finished yet. I still have to insulate the back seat and re-carpet, so that it's just a lightweight cavity back there instead of a metal pan and wires. Please excuse the dirt

damn ur car is sick one of my fav OB keep it comin..

 

Are people able to get into the backseat of the car with those seats, not that you use it lol. My friend has similar seats in his skyline, and I need to crawl in-between the middle of the seats to get into the back.

 

looks like stationay rails

 

would have been ezier to modify the hanger instead of hacking the rear bumper
