It's actually a bit of a shame that the rear valance panel is curved, as it suits the boxy lines apart from that curve :) It has turned out better than I expected - and it's growing on me as I look at it. Just put another one on the other side now ;)

No reference to the exhaust specifically, but over the years various automotive sins have been covered by "daring to be different". While, of course, we don't want all the cars to be the same...'different' is used as justification for "looks like arse" far too often.

Yeah, if the valance wasn't curved would look ace, but I'll stick with good ;)

If nothing else that one hasn't got minilites, so its got to be a good thing :P

Whats planned now Josh?

Hmm, well, as always I fail to see point, but if you like it then it is good :lol:

If it does not give improved performance then it is pointless is my philosophy, so you better just ignore me 8)

It doesn't look too bad, being different doesn't hurt and if at the end of the day you like it, that's all that matters! Maybe if it came out at a slight angle so it wasn't square to the back of the car, but was protruding the same amount from the valance it would add to it.

Lucky chap having a ramp to use too. That would be nice to have, it'd make life a lot easier!

Excellent job, thats looks pretty damn cool!!

As other have said it's a shame about the curved valance - perhaps you could graft some sort of lip on the bottom of the bumper to square things up and cover the green valance - I reckon that'd tidy things up nicely.

Shockingly bad butchering of your photo, but something like this:

A modified bodykit valance would do it.

I have to say as it is I personaly do not like it but I can see whith a change of rear bumper or valance it would work very well.

Nice to see something different though :D
