There's a bit more to creating underfloor downforce than sticking some fin shaped objects under the back of the car,regardless of what it's made from.....

I've ordered the factory diffuser with my BRZ. I agree that it's expensive for what it is but I do like how nicely it blends in with the car and makes it look 'finished'. It looks like something that was meant to be there and not added as an aferthought.

Same here. And I'm happy with the way mine looks. Well spent money

Many thanks everyone I think I will stick with the Subaru diffuser on my new BRZ as others have said it just makes the car looked finished and with a DGM colour it should
look great. The price is a little high at over $800 but the car does deserve the best!

I think it'll match nicely with the STI front lip that's coming out too.

Can you get a pic with the camera sitting on the ground. I heard that the sock muffler acts as an extension for the diffuser. I've only seen/know one other brz with it on the car as an option but it was sold a month ago.

I love how marketing uses the words diffuser, splitter and aero so generously

Oh yeah, I don't buy into the notion that any of these 'aero' parts will be make any noticeable to me, ever. I just like the way they look.
