* a plan-taper tail section under the tailgate, even at the bottom with the diffuser upslope would optimize the whole kit.
Nice clean separation! The atmosphere thanks you and so do I. It'll be cool to see the underbody done up.
BamZipPow's Toyota T-100 diffuser section's attachment included the rear axle itself, and floated up and down with the suspension travel, simplifying gap issues for the belly pan. He's got a thread for it somewhere here at the Forum. If you haven't seen it, it 's worth a look.
Nice work!
