Well i guess the consensus is out. The front looks quite good but the rear is a total loss. Most people would disagree with me but i like the front lip to be the same color as the car and not the carbon fiber checker look. I guess im more into mods that look original as opposed to "added on". Have those guys look at the Wald International rear difusser. Its just awesome but at 1,800 bucks its quite hefty. If they can make one that looks as good and is a lot cheaper--sign me up. Im almost ready to shell out the 18 for the wald--just love the look of it.

The rear sort of reminds me of the Lexon but carbon wrapped. The front does a great job keeping with the lines of the car. It's good to see more products coming out for the F.

The front looks good and the rear is busy. The boxes break it up into small sections. Photoshop out the three ribs so it's a wide horizontal line and people might change their tune.

the front looks good.. I would like to see it toned down a little bit though... as for the rear.. I think it's too squared off for the car... the F has beautiful lines.. and the squared 'shelf-like' look takes away a bit from the body lines... I think the rear would look a little better if it was rounded off.. but overall looks good.. I can't wait to see the finished product... here's a link to my photoshoot for a rough idea of what I mean by 'rounded off' in the rear.. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=598088

Thinking outside the box,
What if you did something no one else has done yet for the rear diffuser?
A normal, screw-on style fake diffuser look everyone loves from Wald, Toms, and Ventross + an additional functional piece underneath for a more aggressive but still classy rear.
Maybe not the style but you can get an idea.
Throwing it out there. What you made has already been done by like.. 14 other companies. Most would just lay some black vinyl in that place for a similar, 10 dollar look with that s4 plastic "diffuser".

Not feeling the rear. For the rear, I would actually do something in-between a Ventross (Super clean), and a WALD (Busy but aggressive). I haven't seen that on the market yet. I would group Tom's with WALD except without the red reflectors.
The front actually looks nicer than Ventross. The problem is that It's CF and it also covers part of the bumper, so it doesn't look clean except on black. If they are sticking with CF, I'd make it more of an add-on piece like Lexon that complements the existing bumper rather than covering it. Otherwise, people who pay for CF probably wouldn't want to paint over it, and they also wouldn't want it to disrupt the design of the OEM bumper.
Just my .02.
