Default EG rear Diffuser. i dont want to drill holes in the bumper

Im currently building my hatch. Hoping to have it out in the the early/mid summer. Aiming for low 11's possibly high 10's

I want a rear diffuser But i do not want to drill holes in my bumper or cut up the rear bumper since this is a street car.

has anyone made a nice diffuser that doesnt require any cutting holes in the rear bumper?

cut rectangles and put hinges on them so they flap open

edit..... errrr...

you want a sheet metal diffuser to cover the whole back of the car ?

i want a stock looking bumper i really hate the Look of Holes and the Carbon diffusers. so i was thinking of a way to diffuse the air without having to take that route.

Unless a Diffuser is not needed. From what ive heard and read that a diffuser is beneficial when you hit the low 12's

the car is a DD/ weekened warrior so raising the boost is limited

The VX diffuser is the simplest way to do what you're after. Or build a sheet metal diffuser for the underside of the bumper to elimnate the chance of air collecting under there. It would apear 100% stock from the outside.

Just pull off the bumper when you get to the track, or pick one up at the junkyard for $5 and cut as many holes as possible.

No really, it's that simple.

Sounds live the best route. Spare bumper with holes cut out for track use only.
