Ok - My favourite would have to be the one Lukeaday has on his car, but thats considerably more expensive.

Shadows should be releasing one in the next year which will be very good.

Ofey has two CF ones left - PM him.

Talon makes a twin-tip one which is $200 unpainted - looks very schmick, tips included (i think).

Theres also the option of getting an RA VIN off someone and getting an RA rear bar (the whole rear bar) but that could set you back easily close to $1k.

What happened to me was someone backed into me, so I got it done for free... . And yes the part cost + painting and mounting will easily set you back A$1K.

Didnt know you had an RA rear bar Ofey. Must have missed that.

thanks for the help so far. i called talon and they said it would end up total like 700-800 bucks after all the paint and stuff and i didnt think that was reasonable. im looking for a real noticeable one bigger than ofeys remaining 2 if im looking at the ones your talking about

no way that the diffuser cost so much man , i got mine painted and delivered for $484 to melbourne

the talon diffuser looks really good if you plan to go dual exhaust , if not single exhaust would be the ARS HL lip

Hi ya Trent, i have The Talon fitted to my Aspire, cost was $460 painted & Delivered to Adelaide, then i paid A Body kit place to fit it professionally for $110, So that $570 all up, worth every cent in my books. Extra cost for me was i also bought a Ralliart Dual outlet Muffler and had it customised to fit the Diffuser for all that extra add another $380, all still under a grand. Thats less than i budgeted for. Very happy with it all :lol:

Cheers
Eric

I have the HOS GT200KR Rear Full Dual Pipe Lip Kit and it cost me $320AUD however, I ordered it from Singapore with the rest off the full lip kit and other bits and peices and shipping cost me $950.
It was sent raw as well.

A word of advise.
Be carfull trying to save money on a paint job. It is easy to get a cheap job sight unseen but when you get it the work done is not up to scratch.

I would get a paint job done after you deal with the raw fibreglass product, making sure it fits.. does sometimes require some trimming first.. Fibreglass expands and contracts in the mold.. so they never come out perfect.

You will only pay $450 painted and delivered for a Talon, that price is obviously a fishing-expedition to try to get you to pay more...?

I would get it painted locally.. mine came matt black and I was not happy with the results, opting to get it repainted for $110 locally in metallic gun-metal grey.

Yes you will either have to get a dual exhaust or put in a false tip.. either way the Talon represents good value for money and a solid product.

The problem with difusers like these mean that you HAVE TO get a Vortex Generator to compliment it!!!
AKA next on the list!!
