Wow!
Your second attempt looks great. You learn pretty quick

I really like this look on the coupe with its slightly rounder rear vs the sedan.

Much more betterer.
Can you take a good side profile shot down low of the whole car? I want to see how the tips poke from a side view.
Yuge *****, Massive *****.

Glad the feedback is positive this time. I felt like I got hammered on the first attempt. Aftermarket modification is not easy with this vehicle because there aren't a lot of resources for information or tuning support. Unfortunatly being an early adopter means a lot of trial and error; sometimes things work and other times they don't. I hope to see more folks coming up with new ideas to modify this platform and to see more companies releasing new and exciting products for the platform. On another note-I'm still not completely satisfied with the exhaust tips. I may paint them black so they don't stand out as much and also may install longer exhaust hangers to drop them lower and increase the gap between the tips and diffusor. Whats everyone's thoughts on painting them black vs leave as is?

I decided to paint the tips black so that they wouldn't stand out as much. I also made longer exhaust hangers to drop the tail pipes down a bit lower. The high heat paint i purchased by VHT ended up being a black pearl, so its got a bit of flake in it that catches the sun. I like it more than just gloss black or flat. Hope you all enjoy.

feel like the silver center diffuser no longer has a place on the car in that color, would go black on it.

if the OEM optional diffuser bar would fit, that would be a good look too. (I don't think it would fit). Would work to encapsulate that area.

I think I liked the silver tips better. But overall, the second version is greatly improved! Good job!

The diffuser and tips look great! Where did you get the black 3 point star emblem for the trunk from?
