I was also torn between the open and single tooth, then chose the open style ...
The first 2 just look too much like the OEM Mopar diffuser which I already have ...

I'm torn between open and single as well, but still prefer the single. Not crazy
I'm torn between the open and single as well, but prefer the single. Gives it a little extra look, but not to close to oem, like the original. Both open and single are cleaner looking.

For my money, I like the old school with the rubber bumper pads. But, since the plums didn't come with painted rocker panels, I just think it would blend better on my particular car. Thats my .02. They're all nice!

The Tastes are so diverse that I may have to make one of each!

I really like D but the Charger rear is so boring, I had to go with A. It has more going on. I look at a lot of Rears because there are some really cute gals at my job. Whoops, veered off subject, what I meant is I look at a lot of car rears and the Charger has to be the most boring of all. Model A for me going forward.

First I want to thank everyone who voted, and say that as a direct results of the poll results, It has changed the course I was planning. First of all, let me explain: Option A and B are both old School and adding the rubber pads is very easy, so they are in the same category #1 since they will come from the same mould. Option C and D (open back and single tooth) can also come from the same moulds if I make a mould plug to fill in the single tooth before it's casted. What that basically means is that if I make the single tooth mould, I could also easily produce the open back from the same mould, hence they are also in the same category (category #2). Here are the final Poll results:
Category #1 (A&B): 2 - 33.3%
Category #2 (C&D): 4 - 66.6%
Because category # 2 is such a significant portion (49%), I just cannot ignore the market. That means I will have to make 2 moulds and basically product ALL of the 4 options (rubber pads may take a while...)
Now, to decide which one to start off with...well, that is a no brainer, the single tooth is easy to clean off for the next design, so I'm gonna start with that one, then once the mould is done, I'll convert it to the Old School Design and quickly make a mould of that one too! I'm Sure this decision will annoy some of you, and make very happy others but you know what they say...You can't please the all!
Today, I got A LOT done, basically the single tooth design is close to being done. I had to enlarge the whole a little more, but most importantly, I extended the bottom edge rearward another 1/2" in the center so the diffuser will be more visible and follow the lines better, so now lets hear what everyone has to say!

We are moving along now!. I put the radiuses on all the edges and made all the custom flange. I can now finally start the final mould process.
