Well im sure u have all seen GE "golden eagles" version of the rear bumper diffuser, but opposed from the look of it I wonder if aerodynamically speaking, it makes any sort of difference at high speeds...

GE Diffuser..



Home-Made Diffuser..


Or just stock bumper..

Don't know if you can get a civic to go fast enough for it to make a difference. I voted stock.

thanks, your vote is very appreciated, but im sure i could find a civic or two to prove that speed is very easily acheived with the right setup.. take those guys with the crx's runnin high 8's in the 1/4, i wonder if it would benefit one of them ya know... and if it would, like wheres the cutoff where it doesnt matter if you have one or not.. thats what im after is the TRUTH...!!! haha...

 

I was being sarcastic, I just think it looks ugly

on some cars they do look tacky... but i've seen a couple occasions where they actually looked pretty tight.. thanks for input either way..

 

Just my opinion, but I think rear diffusers SCREAM ricer.

......maybe on a dedicated 1/4 car..........maybe

lol keep it comin...

 

those do absolutely nothing. the best part is most people leave the bumper support on which completely blocks the holes.

 

I thing an underpanel to stop air from going into your rear bumper would work better.

 

there is a way to pull it off and make it look hot but stock is a great option too

i've seen some track s2k's with the rear under panel ones, an a couple ITR's with them also fitted in there, an some of them dont actually look that bad...

 

naw stay away

 

i think it would look nice if the rest of the car flows with it. it is just a piece of unensecary bling like a tow hook or a c-pillar bar tho

 

im a ricer, i like it. I like it with and without. The car has to be dumped.

 

diffuser. be a real racer.

 

get 2 bumpers. 1 with 1 without.

IF you can get faster than 11 sec in the 1/4 then you could probably benifit. Otherwise no.

 

stock.. even if your car is fast as ****.

or could even just take the whole bumper off i suppose..

 

rather than find a way for air to escape your rear bumper, the ticket is to find a way to keep it from getting there.

You mean like this?

Way more expensive but lots more functional too.
