This is where you need to say if you want the thread to stay open. People are starting to notice, comment and complain.
Even if you stay on tack, I think it's going to get locked soon, just as the Gurney flap thread had to be locked eventually.

I think anything over 120 would see the benefit in a front and rear diffuser.

This is my main concern as well. It seems creativity would be the best method.

Assuming the part was developed in a windtunnel... yes. Otherwise it's a blind guess if it'll do anything at all, or even increase drag. It's not appearance, fit and finish, or ubersexy carbon weave that does the job, it's the exact shape and interaction with the rest of the car that matters... which seems to be the last thing that fanboys care about

Cool looking piece

Speaking of Diffusers and flat underbodies, check out next month's Honda Tuning magazine's S2000 PasswordJDM's diffuser install. This package has a complete flat underbody in front of the diffuser, which is the preferred method of allowing the diffuser to do its job.

This is the best diffuser design I have seen for a S2K.
Edit- It's $1k for the diffuser and $3k for the entire kit.

Re: Dry Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser (Johnny Mac)
Mine or the passwordjdm one?
FYI- I have not further developed any parts because I have been busy starting a composites manufacturing school which will be held at the composites manufacturing site.

Hey Johnny, I saw that in the "final call" of "Turbo" magazine. I must say, it's CLEAN!!!

Yeah, Password has an excellent composite guru who came from Dan Gurney's All-American racers. So he knows a thing or two about carbon-fiber fabrication.
