Default Should I finish the project?

As some of you know we were looking to change things up a bit on the RC by doing an LFA inspired triple exit exhaust. The exhaust is installed and sounds really good but in order to pull it off I think the diffuser will have to be done correctly. I am debating scraping the whole project and just going back to stock but can't decide lol. This is a VERY rough mockup only done to see what it "could' look like. The car would also sport a small front lip and side splitters to match. Yay or Nay?

Cool idea...
Additional details would help, photos, drawings, otherwise my imagination runs wild.

I understand you are trying to keep some mystery about the way the exhaust looks but if you want my honest opinion i need to see better photos, in color please.

I've seen and heard it on instagram. Looks and sounds cool. But the pipes need to be covered behind the tips. Other than that, I like the idea. Keep going with it.

Haha yeah, the diffuser covers everything except for the three exhaust tips. I think everyone was thinking that the rest of the exhaust was going to stay exposed as well. We literally had just finished installing it when that camera video caught it on it's first test drive.
