Black Coroplast with aluminum C channels for the strakes and 2 perpendicular C channels on the top side for further support. Top side also is covered with aluminum tape to reflect exhuast heat. The strakes are also Coroplast pieces folded in half and glued into the C channels with Gorilla Glue.
Hope this helps...the folded strakes was a great revelation on my part!

I have since lowered the car .75"-1" (KW v2 coilovers) which resulted in an improved average of 29mpg!!!
Diffuser and underpanel is now more efficient closer to the ground.

sorry, im a visual learner. If it's not too much trouble, could you post more pictures of your diffuser? (ie. different angles and such).

This is by FAR one of the most well constructed aeromods i've seen on this site.
This thing looks FACTORY. I give you a HUGE thumbs up man, that's great.
Now if I had a car instead of a truck.... I don't think a pickup would do much with something like that. My wife's Santa Fe though...
But yeah, that's sick dude.

Couldn't agree more. Really nicely integrated design. I have a 2009 Mini with the high performance JCW engine. Direct injected. Helps the mpg game. |

What guided you on how many strakes and where to put them (or spacing them, or something  )
Looks very factory, I agree. Well done! |
