hehehe look what i made...
teaser pic.
Quick descriptions:
-Took me about 2-3 hours, i lost track of time.
-Took about 50 pics for the next DIY update.
-Kinda dangerous, i guarantee u ur gonna get cut.
-Looks SWEET
-Weighs just under 3 pounds.
-Sheet metal is MUCH easier than fiberglass.
Y'all can drool over this pic while i work on my DIY update.
Note: its not done yet. the tips of the fins needa be cut true vertical. and i needa do some reinforcement where i bolted on my fins. and needa figure out my bolting points.

thanks man, yea mine is a lil bit below stock height. but i think they work more effectively if ur rides low, especially for the front diffuser. i MIGHT start to do the front diffuser, and thats a big MIGHT. needa do some research before tackling that one.
and imma edit the first post of this thread to be all my DIYs and hopefully moderators will sticky this PLEASE STICKY!! or else i delete muahaha jk

I thought I might add some input, after reading the DIY, for anybody else who might want to try this.
I was reading your DIY and seen you mentioned cutting yourself, you might want to put a warning on your post somewhere, especially since you're using galvanized metal. It's possible, but not to likely to get poisoning from a small cut from the galvanized metal but it can get infected pretty bad, plus I've seen people get cut to the bone on that stuff, it's sharp as hell. SAFETY FIRST
There are also cutters made specifically for cutting this type of metal. There's "aviation shears" that make cutting thin sheet metal a breeze as well as "tin snips" which are like heavy duty scissors, you still have to work a little with these, especially on thicker sheet metal but they work great and are the cheaper of the two, both of which you can find at your local hardware store.

Well said have a sticker
Great build thread, have you driven with it fitted yet and if so what's your views on its effectiveness???
Also how much flex is there in the flat surface of the diffuser and the fins???
