rear diffuser
 

That is the exact Rear Diffuser I have been looking for! Does anyone know if there are any left available and where I can go to purchase one? Thanks again for the help!

haha damn Greeks they're always trying to get more money lol (im Greek) one time a taxi driver wanted 50 euro ($65) to drive me from the center of athens to the airport it is like a 20 min drive tryin to rip me off. lol

Got it!Finally paid 160$ :( ...they didn't know what it was so they were charging anything they wanted and they thought it was plastic...Ken stop doing such a great job it took me ages to convince them that this was fiberglass :wallbash: ...

MONEY SENT for the deposit!!

I never understood how customs came up with their fees. I always try to lower the value as much as I see fit to not raise a red flag.


In case any of you guys didn't know, the group buy is already closed. The price is now $350 + shipping. I think that's a fair price and fair for the initial participants.

Ken

Fisnished installing, looks gr8. i'll post better pics 2morrow

Looks good, i cant wait to install mine.

I finally got around to installing my original re diffuser. I'm lovin' it!

Looks awesome. Can't wait for mine.

Hey Shine, you guys to #19 yet?

J. Fitz

glad to see it's an exact match with the replica from shine!

so did you have it painted? Or is that the black gel coat?

thanks for the reply Phil. I think I'll go this route as well.

Alternative to Rhino Liner
 

I wanted to share with those of you considering the Rhino Liner coating that there is a nice alternative at the auto parts store. Dupli-Colors Truck bed Coating TR-250 ($8) and Dupli-Colors Adhesion Promoter CP199 ($5).

1. Used Dawn to wash off release agents.

2. Then I lightly used 600grit to prep the surface for the adhesion promoter. Rewash or wipe down.

3. Follow the recommendation on the adhesion promoter applying 2-3 thin coats allowing 2-3 minutes between each coat.

4. Now for the Truck bed liner coat. Shake well. Apply this with in 10 minutes of your last coat of adhesion promoter. Spray 8-10 inches away from the surface. I tested my technique out on the rear section that is hidden from view.

5. I then covered the entire surface, focusing on what would be seen most or probably meet with some curbing. I particularily coated both piecs that wrap around the fender really well. You don't want to lay it on to heavy that it begins to look glossy or puddled.

6. I also coated the edges that would be seen on the fenders.

When the Truck Bed Coating starts reaching the end of the can it will start spitting out larger particles. STOP using it. Always keep the can as close to upright as possible. And you can never shake the can to much during use.

I used all of one can. I probably laid down two coats total over the entire surface and five to six coats total on the places I thought would see the most traffic.

Also if you're worried about losing the marks for the mounting holes then pre-drill through the center or completely drill them out prior to washing and prepping. I drilled them out after I was done painting. I used an x-acto knife to find the center and spun the blade back and forth creating a divot and then I slowly worked my way up with different sized bits. Definitely pre-drill with at least an 1/8 inch bit and then finish with one that matches the size of the mark.

Below are a few pics that show how uniform the texture is. The best part is should it ever get damaged or scratched touch up is easy. Also I test sprayed armor all on it and it looks great. (Use a spray or sponge, not cloth.)

Thanks to Ken and his crew for producing some of the best parts out there for our cars.

car hugger, very nice. I might just do the same

Great pictures guys

Looking good. I hope I can see one of your diffusers over the summer when I'm back in Miami.

What number are we on the GB?

And when do you want full payment?

car hugger, very good job !

+1


you should ship them on a paid in full basis.... ;) (im #31)

#19 is ready to pay when he says so

I didnt see in the post.. where are these shipping from? I caught some of the customs talk and wanted to see what they were talking about...

pretty sure they ship from CA. Customs talk was for a customer in Greece.

That is a great writeup on the DIY way... and is definitely cheaper than the Rhino Liner / Line-X way @ $90-$100... Rhino /Line-X gives you a slightly coarser finish, see pic... and they give you a lifetime warrenty if you scrape it off you can go back and get it re-coated...

(Just a thought)

CMIW, but wouldn't you want a smooth finish for a smooth air flow?

LOL @ you guys. We're still working on #5-15 :)

yeah ken.... look at us, were like a pack of wolfs. :)

A dimpled surface is more aerodynamic because the dimples create air pockets which smooths out the airflow. It works on golf balls and on those endurance bikers suits, maybe it would on a car.

Sent you e-mail and PM... (im #10) still haven't recived reply... :(

Okay, so why is it that we all want to bore out our intake tracks, and smooth out the inside of our U/LIM (Not just rotary but in automotive in general, etc.)? :Wconfused I'm sooo confused! :confused: LOL

This is just a cosmetic thing!!!!!!! Don't forget things like: weight, material, placement, etc play a role.

Anybody actually done this? I e-mailed Shine about it and they said it wouldn't work. How much modification is needed?

a whole lot a cutting, but with enough patients and planning, it can be done. I don't see why not.

ken, any update on the CF version?

I GOTS MINE- Thanks Ken! You rock!!! Now I have to wait on my engine builder to finish so I can put all these parts on and decide on what color to paint them. Keep up the good work! -Matt

i dont know where you are getting yours done, but the guy I used to work for that did rhino linings (converted from super liner) had a gun that could spray it from perfectly smooth to almost as rough as anyone would ever want.

sorry but i am really lazy and don't want to look through all 22 pages to find the answer. is this diffuser available in CF? if so how do i get one? i saw carhuggers diffuser over the weekend and really really liked it.

thanks

They are in the process of making a carbon fiber version but it is not yet ready. There are about 5-7 people I believe in front of you that are interested and waiting to purchase a carbon fiber version if it is made. Price is going to be around 600+shipping. Hope that answers your questions.

Chris
