Made my own custom diffuser on da bugeye.
Borrowed "compton's" car (from NASIOC) to mock this custom diffuser on in PS! I wish someone really made this. * Compton let me know if you have issues with me messin with your car and I'll take it down!*
Just dreaming! My idea is to have a diffuser that is aesthetically pleasing and updated with todays car rear bumper trends, but to have some functionality as well, and not necessarily a full-on race diffuser. This one was specifically meant to work with the lines/contours of the bugeye rear bumper. Also really wanted it to have an OEM feel. Wanted it clean, but somewhat aggressive. Maybe I'll mess around with variations of this idea. I'd like to mess with thinning out the fins like 30%. Maybe keep them flat and thick at the bottom and as they come out have them taper to a certain thickness that still feels aesthetically pleasing.
In the meantime ENJOY!

Thanks guys! Sorry for the confusion for some of you! I mocked this up in PS (Photoshop). So there is no other angles? Don't be mad at me! 
Sorry for the tease!
