Hmmmmm.... Trade diffuser for manifold? Not sure if I'd like to take on a project that big, but possibly. Time during the day has become scarce

a diffuser would be far too big to ship. i already have a bolt of carbon to make it myself. just need to get some balsa for the core.

I made a hood and shipped it pretty far for $100. I don't think a diffuser would be too much worse.

the problem is that my rad hangs low, and the mounting points would have to be done on the car.

I was thinking rear for some reason. Yea, I imagine a front one would be very custom for this car.

Cant believe this fucker isnt done yet!

I'd rather have the 3M CF wrap all over the car than I would actual CF. The vinyl wrap is of a higher quality.

You have to paint the CF. Or sell it and go back to stock because its pointless...

i am a huge fan of carbon, but i dont know about the vinyl wrapped bumper

i know, i feel the same, but i can't afford or find a carbon bumper, and i think the front end might look silly with a white bumper & carbon hood & fenders.

i think it would be funny to have the mismatched colors, that way when you smoke them it will be even more of a suprise. but then again, i'm all go and no show

Paint the hood and fenders too. Problem solved? The vinyl wrap is extra weight too. How much is weight is paint going to add, 3-4 pounds?

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #433 on:** December 12, 2011, 10:23:46 PM »

Paint would weigh about the same as the vinyl. Could be more, depends on who paints it.

That's a piss poor excuse. Time to post on RHMT = time to be wrenching on the beast. I'm gonna let it slide this time.
