[Defgeph]

Thats a cool idea. Can't wait to see it finished

[Johnnyny]

[mak5603]

Lookin real good man! I love good looking custom touches.

[cjh4l22]

hey culp, looking good. especially like the 'vette rear lip. question for ya.. how'd you plug the front hole on the transmission where the shift linkage came out of for the mr2?

[Culpable04]

is done, I mean, prototype-wise, as of right now is held by zip ties and duct tape lol

tested to see if it was held properly at highways speeds and is perfectly attached, no noises from it, no shakes no nothing, is like the car didn't have it, but it feels a lot smoother at highway speeds.

here are some crappy pictures, my hands were dirty so didn't touch our real camera.

[HectortheRican]

LOL @ the duct tape wall!

You gotta do what you gotta do, true resourcefulness. I can't wait to see the finished product!

[Culpable04]

I have everything needed to make it nice looking, but I didn't wanna make it permanent yet, so duct tape was the choice, as if I need to make small chances, is easy, real easy. so it'll be duct tape for at least a week as a test, if everything checks out, I'll pull it out and make it pretty. and the pictures were in process, so it doesn't even look as nice as it is right now.

the final stage of it as of right now is pretty pretty good, hopefully by the time my wife gets home we still have some daylight so she can take good pictures of it.

it honestly look stock, except for where my exhaust violated it lol

[Culpable04]

not the greatest picture, but you get the idea




so far, no issues, enough room to not get burn / melted by the exhaust, and no rattling, shaking or weird noises from it.

the skirt got ripped off on the highway by unknown object, I went back and picked it up, needless to say, it needs some repair, but it'll be back on soon enough

[cheela]

ouch! but at least you picked it back up. LOL.

[Culpable04]

I enhanced the colors and cut most of the picture, you can see more of the diffuser, the gaps on the body lines will be filled and the duct tape will be removed and that area will be fiberglass and painted black. but after a week of driving, no issue with rattles or weird sounds, so no more modification is needed.

[playr158]

I like the progress going on here!
got ur FB message and saw it, looks pretty good bud!

[whatthe]

Love what your doing, the diffuser looks awesome

[Tigawoods]

yup love it

[Culpable04]

Thanks guys, now I'm just looking for the time to finish it and make it look nice, the duct tape is not noticed unless you really get down, but still should be fiberglassed, it''ll be relatively easy as I just need one layer of fiberglass to smooth edges and paint over.

I will also try to get better pictures this week

[HectortheRican]

Oh man, I can't wait to see it all finished. I love subtle custom work.

[Culpable04]

diffuser was taken down Sunday, and today I laid the first coat of fiberglass, it's drying now, later tonight or tomorrow I'll do hte thin coat to fill the small joints and such, then prime and paint.

I'll be painting it black, it's a rubber paint meant for stock black rubber bumpers so it'll look just black, I'll be adding a " toyota " lettering symbol I found which fits perfectly and will give it that " oem " touch
