If you stick your hand out the window of your car on the highway... you can do 2 things:

1) Let your palm face the wind. What happens? Your arm gets thrown backwards from the wind hitting it.

2) Let your palm face the ground with your fingertips in the wind. What happens? Your hand stays stationary, and even glides forward.

Your palm facing the wind = a thicker diffuser fin.
Your palm facing the ground/fingertips forward = a thinner diffuser fin.



Cool story bro.
How does a diffuser work? What are the fins for?

FF to 1:30 for a quick explanation. Video is a bit dated, apologize, but same concept.

Ha!

On a serious note, I am curious how this diffuser does not scratch the paint on the lower section of the car???

Great question - It sits roughly 1/4 inch away from the paint, but I have had customers put some double sided tape between the diffuser/valance as a precaution.

I just ended up pulling my rear lower part of the bumper off and got the small 2 piece's painted from the vendor in here for about 400.00 where it has 2 for each side on the car..Robert
I hope so, those fins jump right out at you in that picture and are not something I'd like on my car.

I like the recessed look of the Ferrari better.

Hey.. don't give up on us. I purchased one of your diffusers a couple months ago and love it ...as with anywhere else on the net this forum can be heavy on trolls who want to do nothing but beeeitch.
We learn to ignore them until BAM...
