Actually, i believe they're called Bowtech generators. I'm not sure if chuck sells them, but i'm sure he could get them somehow. That or i'm pretty sure someone on the board knows where to get one.

About the understatement, i doubt it would be that understated. Sure with the bowtech generators there would be less of a gap, but there isn't much to begin with having only the diffuser. Here are some pics of just the diffuser from different angles.

i went through a few pics and was looking for you combination and found these.

First is just with the diffuser and RE rear skirts which BTW i think are for sale right now in the classifieds.

Next is a nice mold job(if you wanna do something like that) that i think would look really smooth with your setup

if neither of those suit you, then yes go with the diffuser, it looks badass. Would look good if you had the front diffuser as well but without looks good just the same.

I'm probably in the minority, but I recommend the stock rear mud guards. The rear diffusers/bumbers that I like are very few and far between.

Thanks for all the pics! Wonderful to see the visual choices. I am really leaning towards the RE Diffuser now.

For the record, they are 'vortex' generators, and not 'bowtech' generators. They accelerate the air under the car (in the tunnel) to create a low pressure zone, and the higher pressure above the body pushes the car down to the road. They work much better when you are able to get them closer to the road surface- not sure how effective they actually are at 3-4" above the road, though......

I have chuck's diffuser, can the 'vortex' generators be attached to his, and were can I get these? Maybe we could get him to make them.

I don't care what anyone says; bricke's car is beautiful.

My opinion is that you should just keep it the way it is. If you do go with something go with the street diffuser. It'll lower the back a bit but look stealthy.

Diffuser

We need someone to make this type of diffuser. Forget what's around it.

^That is the Apex drift car. I believe it has a full Vertex bodykit on it so I'm guessing thats the Vertex rear bumper.
