Oh and thanks, Tut, for using a high quality .png format. That quality control.

In all seriousness, I do want to hear more about your decision to add the wing.

Because racecar, duh!

In all seriousness, I have considered a real rear diffusor for mine and it is just a DD. It's not unstable at speed, but I think it could benefit from the loss in lift that the car has stock.

You can feel the rear start to get squirrelly around 65mph. If functional diffusers weren't so impractical and didn't look so gaudy I'd have them on my DD just for the minute difference they make at highway speeds.

I think the Driveway labs one looks great and isn't terribly expensive. It could be a little more stealth, but it is pretty nice.



I think it would be best in black though.

I had looked at that and decided it wouldn't work for me, though it's nice to see an option that does something functional.

You might be interested in the Type 2 diffuser from DWL that's currently available.

Me too, but I'm biased since that's my BRZ

I think Anthony should go with a custom mounted Lotus Elise diffuser...





He's already running a Lotus steering wheel, might as well run a Lotus diffuser, right?
