only disadvantage I can think of is looking kinda funny with holes in the back of your car - especially to those who don't know what it is. Otherwise, no biggy.

imho, i think a rear air diffuser is overkill for a daily driver. it's not like your going 70+mph all day long. also i'm not sure, but i heard that cops be giving you problems for it. but it's your car man, do what you like.

The only thing you'll notice is the smaller size of your wallet or bank account.

please don't. I have never seem anyone with one of those that didn't look stupid or half-assed. And no one (that I know of) has really shown any hardcore proof that you'll improve gas mileage.

Less wind resistance equals better gas mileage, but will it save enough gas to cover the 1hr plus it takes you to install it?
