I don't really like it, I prefer nothing in the middle, it will look more clean.

Well, here's the Rear Valence left alone. Maybe this looks better because it was taken with a better camera.

I was thinking about doing somethign like this. Not too sure if the sharp points flow with the car well. I lie diffusers but not sure if this was the best style.

it doesnt look too bad, obviously we've all probably seen worse! and i think it looks pretty good, maybe if the fins where a lil bigger, say.... maybe the size of the one on the kia foute coupe since they hang down a lil lower and are longer, or something in the middle of the two, either way i like it!

Lol Is it because of the Rainbow? I know it does looks gay. I do have black frame thats not plastic. I'll throw that on maybe it will look a little better. Yes, tinted plate covers are illegal but cops here are lazy. Many things on my car is illegal already. BTW Kenny I'm thinking about your tow hook mod. I think that looks sick.

I like the diffuser look. Prolly not functional being so small, but looks cool.

High res pix coming soon. So far I like this look a lot and got use to it. I was just trying to go with that modern look. Since most new car now days comes with something similar.

Thanks,
I can't wait Brian. I'm also in a market for a different lip. Maybe once I see yours I'll make up my mind. :D
