New diffuser

MAN o MAN, am i getting good at repeat stuff eh?

Onto the new diffuser! I wanted something i could build off of as time went on. Soooo...

Went to HD, bought a full sheet of 1/4" sandply finish board, had it cut for a 4' x 5' piece i was going to use for the base, and used the rest for various cabinet projects around my new condo! For a bit of weather proofing, I slapped some Kilz130 a couple layers on it. then went to town!

Using my existing mounts under the car gave me a decent spread of mounting points.




Basically used good wood screws and drilled them right into the horizontal lip of the bumper for the outer support, the front edge(closest to torsion axle) I used the same screws and just drilled straight into the spare wheel housing.

playing with the boattail, and wheel skirts


^Sadly, because of the Tire change, i am not able to reuse my wheel skirts as they are now out of compliance
