i was wondering... i want to buy the STR D-FUSER, but i think they're too expensive... i think it's cheaper to just cut holes into my rear bumper... but is there any tools i can use to make the perfect holes and to make it lined up straight???... has anyone done it before... hey a fella out...THANKS

 

Get a long ruler, draw a straight line across your back bumper. Then use a hole saw to cut through.

Good luck in your quest of 200mph in your Civic.

where can i get the hole saw at???

 

take a drill and a jigsaw.
drill hole big enough for jigsaw blade to fit and your in like flynn

 

Im Kidsol on these boards. His name is Shaun and he does awesome custom units for a lot less than the STR's.

 

U can get a hole-saw at any hardware store

 

yeah like the dude above said

get a big ruler
measure on the sides of the bumper and find the middle, then connect the lines though the middle of the bumper so you have a horizontal line goin across the back of your bumper

now find the middle of the bumper, go from there with your holes


goto home depot/lowes or any local hardware store and get the correct bit, they sell bits that go into your drill you can go as small as an inch or up to about 5 inches, they look like sharpe metal circles, prob like 5 bucks

i suggest you tape of the bumper before you drill though

where your going to drill put a layer of masking tape then a layer of duct tape then another layer of masking tape

your paint will not chip if you do it that way

Cutting holes in your bumper does not equal a diffuser. Holes in your bumper and a diffuser are two different things. A diffuser is made up of fins that accelerate air going underneath the car creating a low pressure zone and pulling the car closer to the ground. Holes in your bumper just free up air trapped by the bumper creating aerodynamic turbulance. Something that you will never need and I wouldnt recommend doing.

anyone has any thoughts on this???

 

i am going to have to 2nd that statment. Plus you are going to have that foam underneith the bumper and its going to look like ***. Sometimes DIY is not the way to do things when you cant afford it.
