diffuser or no diffuser?
dio you guys like them on the fd's? is there really an added benifit to using one? or is it mostly cosmetic?
im either buying a re diffuser or im buying the mudguards and painting them to match myc ar.. ill do one or the other.. what do you guys think??
i have no spoiler on my car also.. its just clean on the back.. and i have a 99 spec front lip with feed side skirts just in case.. and my car is silver

The diffusers are mostly for looks. I doubt you would see any real aero benefits unless you worked on smoothing out the entire underside of the car. Maybe add a couple venturi tunnels leading into the diffuser... That is definitely a project I would like to do in the future.

yeah its just i love the looks of both.. and since it will mostly be for looks what do you guys think? since i have the 99 spec lip, and the feed side skirts.. do you think the diffuser would finish it off or make it look gotty!

I'm a huge fan of the diffuser on the FD. I have one I'm waiting to install soon.
Let there be no question, this is just for looks. (And sexy looks IMO) You would likely need a full underbody (front, middle, rear) system to see actual benefits. I don't think even Damian and GooRoo would say they get too much "on track" performance increases from their diffuser setups.
Only downsides: They will most likely slow your street car down from the added weight. They also seem to break pretty eaisly too if you hit anything on the track.
I prefer the RE-Amem looking version over the old Rotary Extreme myself.

Ironically I used to work at a large foam plant. They have ovens that have vacuum setups and presses for dies... I plan on purchasing two 8"x48"x8ft pieces of styrofoam, and creating a full underbelly carbon fiber pan template. (well in sections for ease of maintaining parts) to go along with my RE diffuser.
I have everything set up for 450+ WHP, hate wings, yet want some stabilty. Hopefully anyway... Just waiting on my tune damnit.
