There is a huge difference between cutting holes in your rear bumper cover and actually installing a functional diffuser. Diffusers for a street application are totally useless.

I kinda like the holes. I have a 92 VX, so it already has a diffuser stock? Im disapointed, i want the holes.

Besides, that stock diffuser only difuses air on one corner.

and your mufffler diffuses the air in the opposite corner... all those bling bling holes in your bumper are asking for unwanted police attention.

Don't like the holes either. Why cut in holes when you can buy the stock OEM rear diffusers instead. The only reason you'd want to cut holes on the rear bumper is to let the oncoming air pressure buildup to escape, but if you got the stock diffusers on then you wouldn't need to cut them fugly holes.
