Default what is this?

Ive been looking around for a while and started to notice this bumper more and more. Could someone tell me what the holes are for in the rear bumper?

i'm pretty sure it's to let air out the back and keep your car from having air get caught in there to slow you down. also helps with control at higher speeds? someone correct me if i'm wrong

what are you talking about he asked what it is, not if he should or not do it.. but yet it let's air out provides less drag, not sure about control at high speeds

Yeah, works for less air resistance, is it worth it? Not unless you were going strictly drag aiming for those .00xxx numbers.

looks like crap IMO. And another thing that sceams pull me over.

The diffuser shown in the pic is produced by STR. (...it says it right on the product )

However, AC Autotechnic produces both a steel and carbon fiber versions which are frequently used by amateur and pro 1/4 drag cars. These parts are even offered in two sizes.
http://www.acautotechnic.com/main/



I've worked with this company several times on numerous projects for many years.
I can take car of this for you directly if you wish.

let me know,

Perhaps you have lost focus on the purposes of a forum. Part of which is to share knowledge with other such enthusiasts. You are simply prolonging a thread by complaining about it and not even contributing to the thread. Worst of all, you can NOT assume what the perons intentions are AT ALL!
YOU ARE NOT HIM... duhhh....
Maybe he wants one, maybe he dosen't or maybe he just wanted to know what is was and thats that.
The fact of the matter is to over produce him with valuable information and options and let him/her make an educated decesion....

You dont really need the plate. All you gotta do is drill a few holes. The plate is there for looks.
