I think he's talking about the honeycomb design found on the stock rear bumper.

Don't let the Trolls get to you Archie. Your car looks great. Would be fantastic if it was Pure.

Archie,

This is a good look. I wish you success with this.

Archie, good pictures!!

I know you are trying to show the ground effects in the pics, but all the pics are from an angle that is almost on the ground. Can you get some from an angle as if somebody was walking around the car (from 6ft high)??

Also, can you answer the previous question about whether you will offer this rear fascia in a single exhaust look?? If you are offering it, I might be very interested then.

Keep up the good work!!

If enough interest is shown in a simgle outlet, we'll consider making it.

I'll try to get some "taller" pics tomorrow.

It finally stopped raining yesterday so I could take these pics for you. Please note, I drive the car in any weather, so it's a little dirty in these pics.

Archie, Excellent. I really like the rear fascia, and the front chin spoiler is growing on me. Not sure about the side skirts or those little pieces behind the rear tires, will take more study. Does the front spoiler inhibit cooling any?
This is what this forum is about sharing info and the ability to chose various upgrades. Some people tend to forget that individual taste differs and what one likes another may not, and positive feedback be it for or against a mod may lend to improvements/changes. There is difinitely no room for some of the remarks that were made against your product and we know who I am referring to.
Keep up the good work Archie!

Archie, that rear end is Way Out Of Line. I like it!

You can see that most of the interest has been on the rear duals. I appreciate the many photos you have posted here, but what we want to see is the rear from various angles. Please take them with the sun shining on the rear (the car's rear, dummy, not yours! )

Now, where can I get a dummy exhaust tip to match the OEM on the right?

Yeah ... that guy's just trolling. He's posted a bunch of stuff like that ... did the same thing ragging on Kappasphere's luggage and just tries to stir up trouble it seems. Pull up a list of his previous posts and you'll see it's nothing new. I'd recommend using the ignore option.

EDIT: Realized I probably got a bit carried away when I first posted, so tried to tame it down a bit. But seriously ... the supporting vendors here are giving us all choices for our cars, even if they're not all for everyone. If you don't like something, that's fine ... there's nothing wrong with saying it's not for you. But there's no excuse for insulting their product. At least show a bit of common courtesy and respect for those vendors who are paying good money to be here. Without them, the forum wouldn't be around for long and we'd all be without a great resource.

Archie ... love the smooth, gray rear fascia ... was just saying in another thread that I thought it would look good smooth instead of textured and somebody pointed me here where you already had this thread going. I kind of think it would be cool to have a real metal honeycomb insert just to keep the original accent, but I suppose that would be more work. Oh well ... always look forward to see your new developments. Keep up the good work.
