s4play: I dont' have any more pix, but as malujerry pointed out in the vid, he's the dude with the TT kit in Vegas I think. There are other pix floating around.

I'm not sure if he painted or vinyled tho. I'd say go with vinyl so that it can be easily undone. It will also be cheaper and offer the same look as paint.

Despite you having a black car, a rear diffuser can be easily noticed if it's in a matte black, or cf material. Trust me.

We still need more possibilities though. What's out right now, isn't enough.....
true i guess i wish we just had more options!

personally, i like the WALD or the Artisan rears. it has those lines that make it aggressive and at the same time have a practical use in daily driving.

My custom rear diffuser will be unique and require no cutting of the bumper I hope. If that fails I do have a Plan B as well. So many "projects" on my TODO list so everything is slow. We are gettin ready to start our next s2000 project as well so be patient

UPDATE: 11/19/09

I’m sure many of you have already seen my Carbon Fiber wrapped diffuser which is sort of the look I’m after. However that is just Part I. I’m building Part II and using a very familiar style seen on another hot JDM 4-door sedan.

So essentially my diffuser will be a 2 stage diffuser and hoping to give it an overall very clean look………..
