wow that looks cool, did you find that or did you pshop it?

I was actually going to go a little cheaper than carbon fiber... haha. I was just going get some abs plastic sheets cut and use one sheet as the belly pan piece and chemically "weld" the fins on like a t joint style. So just five pieces together and screw it into the bottom of the trunk. I think it will end up being about $120 to make if I buy thicker plastic and get it custom cut at TAP plastic. I don't have a table saw....

So nobody can say what those angles should be?

And I doubt that a diffuser alone can generate any downforce, but they can make a spoiler or wing more effective at creating downforce, like I said earlier. Its kind of like saying that vortex generators can create lift... I don't think so. And just as a disclaimer, I might talk like an authority on the subject, but I could be wrong so correct me if I am.

Thanks!!
