You are not politically correct enough for all those lip-less cars out there! It's discrimination!

Just call it a bumper cover. That's what it is.

Are you guys talking about the valence?
Subaru technically calls it a diffuser and in the official BRZ brochure Subaru claims the channeled roof and diffuser both reduce drag. Low .28 Coefficient of Drag2 To a sports car, wind is like weight—the more of it you have to move, the more it takes from your ability to perform. Features like a channeled roof and rear diffuser help the BRZ cut through the air, sharpening the performance you’ll feel. |

All the rear bumper cover acts like is a parachute.
Put an actual diffuser on it and you'll notice the difference. |

norcalpb: oem one is parachute depending on what catback is used, as it works together with catback-s muffler. If there are different shaped aftermarket mufflers, eg. longitudinally placed or at angle, then they would benefit from extra diffuser or in general some aero element to to direct flow around stock bumper cover's edge.

No need to. Like some spellchecker clippy, you'll always stick around and will correct any mistakes.

There is no diffuser.
There is bumper cover, and that bumper cover covers 100% of the bumper. A bumper cover being what lay people call a bumper, and a bumper being what lay people call a crash bar. Does that explain it for you to understand more easily? |

Feel free to educate Subaru too, but feel free to place blame on their marketing department. https://parts.subaru.com/a/Subaru_20...10-591-01.html |
