Wastegate out the bumper

After a recent off track excursion "modified" my lip spoiler and front bumper
for me, I was left with a custom 2-piece carbon fiber spoiler,complete with mud, and a nice melty oblong hole for a wastegate exit where a perfectly round holes used to be. I decide to make "lemonade", if you will, with what I had left of the wg exit and came up with what is in the photos. What is your opinion of it ? I think(?) I like it.

Looks great! Is it stainless? If not stainless, it might be a clean touch to paint it satin black (or bumper black). I would be interested in the final pictures installed. A video would be cool too. Nice work!

Yep, It's 304ss. I thought about painting it, but then I decided to heat all the bolts and the flange to give it blued look. I probably spent more time trying to get the blued color at each bolt head and around the weld, then I did actually making the darn thing.

LOVE IT! I did this with my Mirage! Looks mean, sounds mean, and pisses off drunk people at 2:00am walking out of the bars
