Photoshop MS6 Rear Diffuser

Postby Regulator » Thu Aug 05, 2010 9:14

I knew I would be bored over my two week summer vacation, but I didn't think I would be bored enough to photoshop some diffusers on my MS6 at 8:00 in the morning. Oh well.

No one makes anything like this for the MS6, but I have always thought they looked badass on EVO's and STi's. This is what the stock part on the MS6 looks like. Plain and smooth. :

I have mixed feelings about this now that I see the finished product. What do you guys think??

I don't really like the look. The rear of the car is looks much larger than an evo or sti so it distorts the rear too much.

This is the type of diffuser I was using for inspiration.

Image

I was trying to conserve the stock location of the MS6 exhaust because moving the exhaust in real life would get too expensive. Also, the stock MS6 diffuser pieces cost $500 for the pair, so I think some aftermarket diffusers could nearly beat that price.


Edit:
Does anyone know a better place to upload images for free? Imageshack compresses the hell out of everything I upload and makes them look like crap.

I use photobucket but it compresses the images as well but maybe not as much?

Flickr FTW! No noticable compression and you can choose how large the uploaded image is. There are many other nice features.

I use my own hosting for $3.99/mo through GoDaddy and don't have to worry about photo compression. :)

After taking a second look at this picture, I think the issue is that the MS6 diffusers stop whereas the Evo and STI diffusers run the entire bottom back of the vehicle... thus avoiding the southern style "buck tooth butt" look. :)
