That is a rear diffuser. It allows air to flow through the rear bumper instead of being trapped and creating drag.

It's used for drag racing.

I agree, that diffuser in particular.

But regardless, it serves a purpose.

THAT one doesn't serve any purpose and you know it. The only purpose THAT one serves is aesthetics. Though yes, they're typically used for drag racing to reduce drag.

Please put this in the right forum. Appearance/cosmetics.

Whenever somebody buys that thing you got 6 MONTHS TOPS before you find a "my bright *** yellow completely-overpaid-in-every-department civic got jacked" post.

Yeah, that's the "come steal me yellow" with the "I'm not stock" intercooler finish.

The diffuser still has a purpose ... just because that guy's a ricer doesn't mean the diffuser doesn't do it's job anymore.

*sigh*

Alright, yes, it still has a purpose. Though he did not buy it to reduce drag, let me rephrase it that way.

If he did, he wouldn't have the starship enterprise body kit.

Would the stickers be angled toward the east or to the west? Feng Shui can make or break a car in the appearance forum
