DIY: Rear Diffuser

**noodleninja** · 02-16-2015 03:19 PM

This is still under construction but I have it all mocked up with cardboard for now. I will end up making it out of metal.

Paul Walker's dead....just let it go.

**b6Hate4** · 02-16-2015 03:40 PM

I just threw up in my mouth.

It certainly goes with yo riiiimz doe

**SWONER** · 02-16-2015 03:45 PM

ive seen worse, looks original. I would have went for a more subtle design but thats me, keep up the good
work.

**Shimmy** · 02-16-2015 03:50 PM

cool, but another type of material would actually make it functional

**B8 S4** · 02-16-2015 03:52 PM

Nice way to ruin an Audi

**Bleek** · 02-16-2015 03:56 PM

All this hate. So much for "its your car, do what you will"

**Dasquade** · 02-16-2015 04:03 PM

I did and do a lot of custom stuff on my ride and i like to think out of the box...but think you (seriously) overdoing it with that kind of design/shape.
Not sure how you will integrate it all, but it will not look good imho...you already running lips. Keep it as it is
But don't let us keep you from beeing creative.

**noodleninja** · 02-16-2015 04:16 PM

glad to see what y'all think. I'm cool with the negative and positive comments.

Once im done making it I'll see if i like it of not. You may not like how it looks but it will be functional once i make it out of a stiffer material.

**inNout** · 02-16-2015 04:42 PM

I'd say go for it. I'm actually excited to see the end product. Just make it a little more subtle like the Varis diffuser.

Examples on other cars:

**inNout** · 02-16-2015 04:44 PM

Do the side blades so the rear flows with the front:

This is reason number 352 why I regret ever selling my RS4 and convincing myself a modded A4 would make me happy.

**Liquid Smoke** · 02-16-2015 07:04 PM

it's an interesting project and of course it's up to you if you like it. but honestly i wouldnt do it, i think your current rear corner pieces with your diffuser looks great as is right now.

were you planning to replace the current diffuser or just put this under/integrate it into the existing diffuser? but IMO i think it just looks a bit overkill, it would fit more of an RS5 type of car, and even then only one that's used for racing/track car. otherwise seems a bit too much on an A4. even on those M3 pics it's a bit more subtle and hidden under, but it's obviously a race car so it doesn't ruin the car's overall look.

**The Infiltrator** · 02-17-2015 04:42 AM

..... dude.... NO......

**Okan509** · 02-17-2015 04:54 AM

if it sits further in, and further up. Like nice and tucked - I think it could look cool

props to the DIY work.

**Dasquade** · 02-17-2015 04:57 AM

Well i wait untill you fabricated it...
I just pray to god IF you will mount it you will do it good. Wouldn't want to be the one driving behind you when that sheet metal flies off!!!!!

**SleeperCar** · 02-17-2015 06:28 AM

my opinion....too much...but if you are going for the #becauseracecar theme, than hats off and go for it....i just implore you to consider the overall lines of the vehicle.

....matching hood scoop?

**booost** · 02-17-2015 06:33 AM

I think it's a bit much for an A4 and it's certainly not for me but if you like it then that's what matters

**kl918** · 02-17-2015 06:42 AM

I think it's going to look real good , dont listen to all these haters who think every audi should look the same with just tints, drop and some type of mesh wheels. Really cant stand '' the it's an audi and your ruining the look of the car". Who the F*&k are you to say what looks good and doesn't, but once your done with your diffuser watch everyone ask if you can make them one.

**BrewDude** · 02-17-2015 07:37 AM

I'm still trying to see the point in this. A diffuser has no place on a car that isn't tracked on a daily basis.

**amz** · 02-17-2015 07:41 AM

Looks quite a bit like the Enales diffuser:

he posted looking for opinions and feedback. rule #2 in forums is to welcome the good and bad when asking for feedback. (in case you were wondering Rule #1 is to search before asking questions)

wow thats an aggressive diffuser, but you are right, similar to OP. I will never understand blacking out the audi rings (let alone a different color spoiler lip), yet another opinion of mine i guess.

**kl918** · 02-17-2015 07:53 AM

what was he supposed to search for , the odds of the majority liking anything other than tints, drop and mesh wheels

my point wasnt about searching, just adding in the #1 rule.

If that's your thing.......

He asked for opinion he got one. And and who the f... K are you to come here and bashing someone's opinion?

**Liquid Smoke** · 02-17-2015 05:12 PM

no one's giving some official verdict on this car saying it's ruined, we are giving our opinions on it and what we think, which is why he posted it, to see what others think of it, but in the end of course it's going to be up to him if he likes it and wants to go with it. yes there will be people who only like a certain style or will bash other stuff. but if someone is posting this, they are asking for everyone's opinions, otherwise keep it to yourself and enjoy your diffuser.

my car is plastidipped and IMO it looks very nice, but the matte finish isnt for everyone, or those who think dip is cheap and "ruining" the car. i had someone tell me my car looked like primer when i had it in a matte grey, but i know it looks way nicer than that and IMO looked nice so i did it. my car in red now someone said the matte finish with my 19" oem wheels looks ghetto. i posted it to see what people think but just because some don't like it doesn't mean they are bashing you, everyone has their own tastes. we do what we like to our own cars, but no need to get pissed because it doesnt fit someone elses tastes.

It's tint, not tints! I bet you're the kind of person that calls money, moneys...

I know you want one lol it doubles k04 power

**adamazing** · 02-18-2015 12:01 PM

I'm not going to bash it.

I think it's super aggressive, but nothing outlandish in relation to what I've seen on other Bimmers and such at shows. Not my personal taste, but I applaud the ingenuity.I assume it's going to replace your existing valance, and not add onto it?

No - it was always be a part of you - seared forever into your memory.

**Fidelnv** · 02-18-2015 06:26 PM

When you get the finished product I will want one. I'm bout that life

haha that troll that posted that...i unfortunately cant forget....what a terrible idea.

**noodleninja** · 03-06-2015 09:29 PM

Hate it? I don't care.

I finished this about a week ago and just haven't had good enough weather to take any decent pictures. I've made some modifications from the first mock up.
Its got 8 mounting points and the forward most mounting points are adjustable so that the angle of the diffuser can be moved up or down.

**dtoobin** · 03-06-2015 09:38 PM

Looks better without it. Kinda like it doesn't belong
