Whats that chrome back bumper billet piece called and what does it do? anyone know where to get one?

 

bumper diffuser, its to prevent drag at high speeds

 

It is called a bumper diffuser and is used to reduce drag by allowing air that would normally swirl in the rear bumper to pass through. This helps streamline the air current and increases trap speeds in drag competition.

ive been wondering what those were for soo long

 

You should take it off and put at stock bumper back one. It's a diffuser though.

 

Guess I'm the first to say "bloody hell thats ugly!"

Yes it is an air diffuser, but check out the car. Crazy *** I hang with at Starbucks has one that looks EXACTLY like it, but its just a piece of metal. There are no holes, thus it doesnt actually let air out. Its to prevent the rear bumper from acting like a parachute. Supposedly you gain MPG, but I dont know how it affects aerodynamics if you do it yourself.

 

Im sure digging the coca cola license plate

 

yea its a diffuser, and they do definitely improve drag racing performance (and probably everything). One of these and a lip that was lower to the ground gave me .1 in the 1/4, and that's good enough for me! Mine was just holes in the bumper with no plate though.

Something that has been annoying me though...ITS NOT BILLET.

Billet means something was machined from a solid block of metal, like expensive engine mounts, or most shift ***** etc. NOT a sheet of sheet metal with holes punched in it, and such.

 

that car looks horrible. looks like its all crooked

 

looks better with just the holes cut out

are you being serious?

what is this world coming to...

 

You could always keep it clean and make a roll pan. It prevents air from going up behind the bumper all together.....

 

im serious u dont need to spend money on a diffuser just remove the rear bumper..on track days.. am i alone on this one or something...

 

wow that car need to be blown up

 

that probably is the uglyest hatch that i have ever seen. That is a disgrace to honda and eg hatch lovers.

If you are smart then you would do this... Silly ricer kids, it's a car not a spaceship!

Bone, didn't you also add some sort of a front air diffuser/dam a while back?

 

Home depot style!!!!!!!!!!!
