    Don't worry about it man, just messing with ya. I actually really like the rear of your car, even the muffler and I like the cut out of the rear bumper. The front is obviously not my style but it doesn't look horrible it just looks kinda like a track beater as opposed to a street car, thus my comment.

    It is a track beater, I just drive it on the street, too.

    You'll really like the rear after we do the rear diffuser. Gonna do a front splitter, flat under-body, and some other aero work.

    Well there you go! My comment while obviously being sarcastic completely applies here then.

    Yea a diffuser and underbody will look tits, I knew the cut bumper was for less drag but I didn't know a diffuser was in the works. Are you making your own or adapting one from another car?

    I actually cut the bumper so the exhaust would be as straight as possible. It also allows more room for the diffuser.

    I realized what makes the rear of your car look so extraordinary, the mud flaps complement the cut of the bumper very well and the small but important detail work of the shaved tail lights, very nice makes me want to get a porter cable even more to do mine.
