who makes one?

I will be making one for my 4th gen

prelude bumpers are like giant paracutes it would defintely help all aspects at higher speeds.

i think a rear diffuser with a underbody tray and a splitter would make a big difference. i've been thinking about fabbing one, but then i realize i don't have the tools or the resources...

though if you feel compelled to make one, satan, i wouldn't mind doing some "testing" for you @ willowsprings, Laguna Seca, and BW...

really, all you "need" for a rear diffuser is a 3" or 3.5" hole saw, a drill, and a tape measure. just measure out where to cut the holes, and cut them. you done really need the billet or carbon fiber plate, it just cleans up the look from the holes. most *cough*streetracers*cough* i know usually just cut the holes out and dont worry about the bling-bling.

we're not talking about cutting holes in the bumper...I was talking about filling inthe entire underbody...

Why not just take off the back bumper? Holes in the bumper look like ****. By the way satan_srv my car didnt have a oil dipstick. I have to order a new one, and being new to owning a prelude i had no idea where the oil dipstick was. On all my previous cars they were near the heatshield/header.
