Hmm, unless OP has had access to a Driveway Labs diffuser, he'd have to extrapolate it anyway. I agree with the "style" statement to a great extent also - There are many blatant rip off designs as @retoocs has said, however this doesn't look to be a straight rip - there's a limited number of attachment points on the car. Given I'm in Australia and the cost of shipping stuff like this here is astronomical, I'd love to have access to the measurements or cad documents to get one made up locally.

I'd certainly give attribution.

BTW, Carl's diffuser works very well.

I'm not going to get involved in their argument either. My point is if you have the tools and materials, then yeah, it is pretty easy. People have done simple fab work like this forever, and it's only been recently that people have started being too (uh, whatever they are now.. afraid? brainwashed?) to do this stuff themselves.

My buddy made a Diffuser like the Driveway Labs one 5ish years ago on his STI.... Just saying. Not the first time I saw that style of diffuser before in my life. Its just a diffuser let it be.

I go away for a couple of days and come back to find this threat has died.

RIP Diffuser thread. You were entertaining.
