That was the purpose behind it! And the purpose behind this one.

Seriously, if you need a somewhat-capable hand or a test mule, let me know!

On a side note: will this version "work" with the OEM-style diffuser/valence extension? Not dead set on keeping it, but just curious

Do you have any reason for the strakes being rounded vs. angled? Aesthetics, or stability, or economy, ground clearance, or anything? Or just, personal preference?

I'm partial to the strakes/fins in the first design, but really that's just nitpicking. Looks good, now hurry up and make them!

People asked for a tame "street" version. That's what I attempted to deliver. The shape for this purpose is aesthetic. I'm excited to get it onto the car and see how it looks in material form. It's getting cut this week and I'll hopefully either have it shipped or will be picking it up when I go to Portland to pick up my Mitsubishi.

Your original diffuser was on my list of things to get, but that was removed. Why? Because of this. I wanted something functional, and was able to overlook aesthetics for said functional piece.

But a functional piece that looks good while doing it? Yes.

Type 2 is now on my list of things to get.
