^^ spot on! I'm going to tweak mine a little so it fits similar to the shine diffuser. Bolting to the outer part of the bumper and going inward.

Macz that pic above is the correct style, but the one I fab will be more practical for the street. designed to keep from dragging the bottom of it on speed bumps, and out of driveways, the top will stay close to the bumper and the bottom more toward the diff. Slanting it will keep it from dragging.

For some reason its beautiful to me, the way that they work. The under-body diffuser was first used by Renault/Lotus, in the 80's The team used rubber side skirts to direct the air under the car into the diffuser creating a suction, the skirts also hid their idea from other teams and the race inspectors until the coast was clear. In an era where teams spent millions to shave off 10ths in a lap time, Renault was shaving whole seconds because of this relatively minor concept.

Oh and on any given qualifying day these cars where allowed to boost 1,200+hp out of V6s and L4s. (no aids)

The pic above is obviously a modern f1 car but thats to give you a more direct idea of what I'm looking to create.

I like that shop you did hyp. RHDJapan sells a "universal diffuser" I wonder how well that would work.

i know! i have been trying to find one, but i know i'll just demolish it, and i hate the thought of ruining rare parts on my car... i'll probably settle for the common 1700mm huge carbon park picnic bench spoiler like everyone else though.

the rear is pretttyyyy plain...
