yeah now that's a diffuser! lol...too bad the rest of the kit is ugly ;)

NewYorkJon34 10-26-2010 05:23 PM

You notice tho on that kit, the whole rear changes the line of the car and the rear fenders & gas cap needs to be changed.

Dan Z Man 10-26-2010 08:43 PM

yeah i do notice that actually, another thing i don't like about it is the circled part..idk i cant describe it, it just looks weird for some reason, like it doesn't flow.

I believe most of these examples will not be functional without the rest of the ground effects components for the under body and in some cases they could actually make the car unstable at high speeds.

NewYorkJon34 10-26-2010 09:25 PM

Well no one really knows if the tamon designs is functional, were there any tests done?

theDreamer 10-26-2010 09:26 PM

No, it is more of a 'show' body kit really.

yes this could be true, which is why people need to step up their game COUGH COUGH password jdm COUGH COUGH...for instance, the have a full underbody system going on for the s2000, i was super super close to buying it when i had my s2k, i'm glad i didn't because i decided to get the Z (so glad i did :D )

here's a pic or 2....please PWJDM make some legit parts for our cars, the intake system they make for the s2k is gorgeous, if they can make something like that for our Z...omfg ::drool::

it's kinda hard to describe, the circle i drew should have been brough down more..i feel like the bumper is to much of like a slant kinda, cant really explain it

Not to sound negative, but would a functional full diffuser really benefit most of us interested. It's a cool idea, but most of us here would buy one for aesthetic reasons rather than lower lap times.... for that, the various ones out there are suffecient.

NewYorkJon34 10-26-2010 10:10 PM

Ya, we all basically want function with the design of the tamon kit, but with the ease of install in the fujimura/evo-r kit. In other words, wait till sema, lol

Couldn't agree with you more, BUT, lets talk technical, from a legal/law stand point, most people shouldn't really be doing anything to their cars, for instance, going force induction, a lot of people that buy SC or Turbo kits are daily drivers or don't track their car, basically just to have it and/or have spirited drives etc..

why spend $3,000 on legit Advan RS rims or any light weight rim for that matter when you can get 'knock-offs' for a hell of a lot less, when most people are doing it for looks, rather than save 2-3 pounds on un-sprung weight. even though i am one of those people who would actually get the legit rims over the knock-offs(i don't think there's anything wrong with knock-offs, i personally just would like the legit ones)

Also, the people that buy 1700mm Voltex spoilers for their car and never been to a track..personally, i'm the type of guy that likes aesthetics plus functionality, regardless if i go to a track or not ya know, i happen to plan on going to tracks in the near future, but that's not what I'm getting at lol, so yea, that's my little story, some people, if not most, would like to have it, just to have it, or for looks, or functionality

I'm sure there is stuff im forgetting but i think we all get the gist of it :)

The rear I ordered appears to have a real diffuser/valence.....it won't arrive for 8 to 12 weeks but it sure looks real.....I could be wrong:
