Default Rear CF diffuser!

http://estore.websitepros.com/794288/Detail.bok?no=1

i posted a thread about this a while ago, and no one knew that one existed, and i think some said that corvetteracebodys had one, but would cost several thousand $$$$.

had anyone heard about this mod from this company? They say the thing is "effective" and that it actually works..

"Stay tuned to our webpage for the debut of our complete aerodynamic carbon-fiber-kit!"


any thoughts?

It may work if you were a racer or on the track alot, but for/on a street car I think it would look terrible. JMHO

I would love to see a well designed air diffuser for our vette's the functioned properly and was made of CF. It may be a little too much for me, but I'm going to be watching the development of their products closely.

It's not something that I would want to see on my car, but others may like the look.

The Elise runs something like this as well - stock. A ton of windtunnel time went into the Elise so I'm sure it works on that body.

Not sure if it's gains come in under 100mph, but if one could be found that really worked - created measurable downforce - I'd be down for it.

looks good if it's functional - I'd want to see some wind tunnel data before I spent the cash. if it's just for looks, it's a waste.

If it doesn't have rolled edges at the wheelwells and in the back, I don't think it can work.
