VX diffuser, I believe Katman took the pic years ago.
On my "slow" NA SOHC I dropped .2 seconds just by removing the rear bumper COVER, I left the steel bar there.
Current design....it was a junk cover......

^^ i did just what you did Bone, but i went all the way across with it. i did notice it on the highway too...car seemed to "roll" easier..hard to explain but i deff. noticed less drag on the car...mine had a rear lip also so it may have been affected more..

I had them custom made. Same material my hood, ECU mounting plate and sunroof plug is made from. Carbon/Kevlar....
Hit up Adam (crx12 here on H-T) from lighter-faster.com for the diffusers. Tell him that I sent you and he will take care of you.

Re: (rota92)
i hole sawed the rear bumper of one of my old daily civic and noticed a difference driving on the freeway. the car felt less restricted (less laggy) than with the stock bumper uncut. i never tracked the car with the stock bumper and with that bumper so can't tell u the 1/4 differences like the other guy on here. but there was definitely a difference.

Like I said, I've tried it on much slower cars than yours and I saw an increase in MPH.
