Finish the rear of my FD!

I've been tossing around the idea of getting something to finish the rear end of my FD, but this picture of my car really got me thinking about it. The front end and sides seem OK, but the back almost looks too high or out of place without some sort of finisher.

I'm thinking some sort of rear diffuser, rear bumper or factory mud guards to bring it down a little. What do you guys think would go well with the kit? (N1 front, AD9 skirts, RE lights, N1 hood) I am open for ideas.

How about the Ray's rear spats? They are pretty sharp, and very aggresive.

You could just do the Apexi N1 rear bumper. It's pretty low.

Nice rear bumper. I do like the looks of that one. The lines might match up pretty close.

A small pic, but you can kinda get the idea. It's basically a rear lip.



I would highly recommend the old school RE rear diffuser though. It would really suit your setup.

I actually would go with the rear diffuser you had in mind. I know it wont be that functional, but if you want your car to look good, the diffuser will definetly make it look good, atleast IMO.

Heres a pic of the kit you have on your car with a diffuser.





Thats the exact same kit you have minus the front carbon diffusers. I think the rear diffuser would look great with your car. It looks great on amemiya's car, so it should look great on your car. Good luck on your decision.

Definatley goes great with that whole kit. Finishes it off well, and complements the agressive styling up front. I honestly like it (minus the CF tail light cover, eew!) I'd say go with this one over the other options shown here thus far, but it's your car, so you still have final say...

I've been wondering what this bumber looks like. I want to get the Apex sideskirts and I would guess it looks good with this bumper. Wish there were more pics out there of it.

first off you have a beautiful car, I want the same bodykit except a feed front bumper, and painted hood, on a millenlium yellow fd. Anyways I agree either the rear diffuser or the c-west rear,or you could do a rear add on lip like this which intensepower.com sells, some kit made by origin lab? Front bumper aint to bad either Front bumper is $297 and the $297 for the rear.

Those side skirts are the RE Amemiya AD 9 skirts. Here are pics of the replicas from Rotary Extreme.

Does chuck sell the add on's for the diffuser? I beleave thay are called vortex generaters (maybe). Unfortunatlly, even just the diffuser by it self minus the add on might be too understated. I know there is another diffuser that I don't see on hear to much that is made by first molding. It seems to have more side area, thus being more visable from the side.
