DIY diffuser

My friend Tim built a diffuser for his car so of course I had to have one. This weekend we built one for my car and it's awesome. Everything was custom so it took a while to put together but all in all I'm stoked. It has since been painted flat black and is very stealth. It definitely helps with keeping the air from going up into the bumper.

lol good question...

Anyways, nice project! This is the second homebuilt diffuser I've seen, getting my motivations going... What thickness did you use? I'm guessing .080 -.100?
