I assure you this will not end up like iKona. JDP makes some really good quality products and always posts up the molds before he starts making them. He'll listen to you guys and change it if you guys are unsatisfied with it. GE owners didnt like the first diffuser he came up with, we asked for him to enlarge the fins and do some other tweaking and he went back and did it. He's not going to put out a product if you guys dont approve of it first. JDP FTW!

Hey you're right - that doesn't look too bad at all. Although it's hard to tell from that picture what's black and what's . . . umm . . . lack. So yeah, removing the rear underspoiler on a sport isn't that daunting, so if an aftermarket piece was in replacement of it, no problems.

But I want to reiterate - an undertray that covers as much as possible would be MUCH more valuable than some diffuser fins tacked onto a replacement body piece. Something to alleviate the parachute-like qualities of the rear bumper.

Yes!! Completely agree! I would want a functional undertray/diffuser, not a modified rear lip...

I have an idea for a replacement rear lip with an undertray and diffuser integrated all in one.

I'll try to photoshop and post it up.

If it is possible to do a one off one first so then all of us gets an idea of how it will look. Even if there is no interest (unlikely) in the product you can still sell the only USDM rear diffuser as a rare item. It's a win win situation.

Why don't you guys give John (JDP) some ideas of how you would want the diffuser to look, like I mentioned he won't put it into production if you guys aren't satisfied with how the mold looks.

In all seriousness, something like this would be perfect:



If you can't even see it from behind the car . . . even better.

Interested if the final product isn't just cosmetic. Maybe we should make a list to see how many people are interested.

Sounds good...definitely in on the development.

I'm finishing up on the GE stuff.

I'll contact a someone you offered their car for me to use to develop this. What I'll do is develop and show prototype and get comments/suggestions.
