Default Rear Diffuser Work Begins!
Got some slack time coming @ work so I will start my diffuser (carbon fiber of course). Never have taken the time to post pictures or learn how, but I will do so for this project, even if I have have to e-mail them to someone who can! The plan is to keep it tastefull, tight & clean but functional, as close to the sway bar as possible with room for my B.B. quad oval tips to remain in place. Let the fun begin.

I always take function over just being pretty.
Track time is the most important, just making a diffuser for
looks is not my cup of tea.
