Default Installed my Lexon rear diffuser.

Here is a quick shot of my rear. I actually had it for a week, I was just waiting for my 3rd brake light to get painted and installed. I also asked the shop to connect the 3rd brake light for me.

Those who are interested, the parts are:
Lexon rear diffuser, custom silver paint.
3rd brake light from 2013 Toyota Prius, painted red.
JoeZ exhaust, axle back with custom dual tips.

Shop had some issues getting the exhaust pipes aligned properly. We had to heat and bend the legs that hold the exhaust in place and do other modifications in order to make it sit higher and centered.

Sorry, no shots of the side yet. I have my wheels on, but I'm not dropped yet so it looks scary at the moment. Will post more pics as soon as I drop her.

How do you feel about it? Have someone else drive it and you record the video. ..iphone or whatever. I wanna see a video from the perspective of the owner.

Sweet...looks great. Are you able to adjust L/R height? I had an issue w/an aftermarket exhaust not being level on a previous car, so i installed a circular clamp around the lower side rubber hanger to level it out. Maybe its the angle but your passenger side looks a fraction lower. Look forward to seeing it lowered.

That's what I have right now. Besides the fact that we had to bend tons of things to get it to look right, I also used those metal zip ties on those rubber hangers. It came out pretty good, compared to what it looked like after they installed the tips. It was sagging about 1.5 - 2 inches. It's not a problem if you have an OEM diffuser, but with Lexon you have to do some work to make it look good.

I have to be honest. I'm not liking the light colored diffuser or the tailpipes which are too BMWish, too common. It's not attractive at all, just the opposite. But to each his own. It's your car.

The exhaust pipes remind me of my 07 Acura TL Type S I had. I like it but not on this car...

Sweet... But I think it's not fair that most of NY can see your wheels and your forum bros have to wait. That's just not right. Lol I feel you though.
