    Question ++Custom rear bumper with carbon fiber rear diffuser for GS.

    This company in Austria (Cupspoiler.com: Cupspoiler) has offered to do this rear bumper for the GranSport. It will use an OEM bumper that will be modified with a c.f. rear diffuser. Fitment should be perfect due to it using oem bumper and retaining all factory mounting points as well.

    I would have the choice of sending my bumper to them for modification, or purchasing a new one to have them modify (which would allow me to keep the oem one currently on the car).

    This is only a photoshop, so this is in the very early development stages.
    They claim they can do anything you want done in terms of front/rear bumpers and spoilers in general.

    That being said, I think it looks very good. Might need some tweaking here and there, but they are willing to listen to any suggestions one might have.
    Curious as to what the general consensus is here @ L4P.
    It will go from this stock bumper to the modified one as seen.

    Could have been executed better, imo. I would have had the top part of the diffuser parallel to the tail pipes.

    That has been brought to their attention...... hence choice #3 of the poll.

    i'm going with choice 3 (but not voting quiet yet), there is something about the rendering that doesn't look right, i'll look again when i get home, the phone sometimes messes with pictures.

    also any testing too see how it will effect the car at high speeds? or is it pure cosmetic

    Yes, But I'd like to see it before I would have picked 3. Maybe I should have waited before voting. But I'm a fan of the stock one. Goes with the car, hence being factory.
