Default Rear diffuser *pics*

I installed my new rear diffuser. Its powder coated black winglets with polished edges. I like the look from the back now.

Looks sweet man....what exactly is the purpose of that thing though? Eye candy? Or does it actually help in some other performance aspect?

both lol. It's suppose to help with air flow for under the car at high speeds. Would have been nice to have at Willow Springs on the 11th

I think it would look better if the bottom of it was flush with the rest of the bumper.

Looks good... I'd address that stock wing if you really want to improve aero on the car.

Sitting flush would be counter productive. It's designed to catch air and direct it as it passes out from under the car. It eliminates turbulance aft of the vehicle, improving over all airflow..... on a race car.
