    Custom diffuser

    A friend is building his car for show. I took a few shots of the diffuser in the shop.

    Photos populated upside down, edited.

    That's a lot of work to build your own. There is another thread about a similar product from Agency Power for less than $2K.

    This is a one off, not a mass production part. It'll be around $500, labor is cheap out here.

    Sorry, I'm just sharing photos and showing off the work at the shop out here. They aren't planning to make more than this one. To keep costs down, this is mostly fiberglass with a carbon fiber outer layer.

    These would be SICK with Magnesium or Iridium pieces built into them... like our pucks for road racing motorcycles they would spray sparks when bottoming out.

    As Chris Harris would say..."Now that is a propa diffuser".

    Maybe, APR can copy this design and implement it into their existing CF diffuser.

    Made some strakes that attach to my short metal ones.

    I like this idea. I'm going to do something similar on my Gen4, adding 2 more blades and attaching some plastic extensions. I want to mimic the ACR-E extensions and move the outer ones forward of the axle line.

    what material it was used to do the extensions?

  16. #16
    1/4 inch ABS plastic

    I like how the strakes/blades extend all the way up to the paint, but it doesn't appear to hang down into the undercar airflow like the OE diffuser does. Looks awesome and you won't clunk it off stuff going over bumps, but probably doesn't provide any aerodynamic benefit.

    They should have relocated the back-up light assemblies to elsewhere and swept the whole tailpan up all the way, and then extended the strakes as far forward as possible.

    I like it! Looks very functional to me, but what do I know. Maybe Pappy can chime in. Would be cool to see pics from underneath.
    I wouldn't mind something like the below on my race car- Pappy let's build it! LOL
