R34 Gtr Diffuser Fins - Now Upgraded

So I have wanted to upgrade my oem diffuser fins for a while now. As most R34 GTR owners will agree, the stock plastic items tend to get a little scraped/stone chipped over time.

I decided I was going to investigate what Nismo 'GT Diffuser Fin' replacements would cost me. Turns out they are about $1000+. After I proceeded to pick my jaw up off the ground, I decided that i was going to fabricate my own.

The plan was to make them similar to the Nismo style fins, but out of aluminium and then spray with Plastidip, as so to give the fins the oem look. I felt that simply rattle can or powder coating wouldn't have had that much needed resistance to stone chips.

Photos of the end result:

I am really happy with the results. Photos may not do them justice but It does give the rear end a more aggressive look. Each fin is very solid when mounted and the ground clearance remains the same too. Stock mounting points and fin positions were used. I decided to delete the mounting points at the edge of the diffuser (one with the plastic clip) as I felt the 'upturn edge' intruded on the whole aggressive look of the extended fin.

So my question is - Would any other R34 GTR owners be interested in a set? Depending on the response, I could possibly get them fabricated for a fraction of the price that Nismo are asking.

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.
