Default Aero..

I noticed that flashy diffusers are the new craze now.. Everyone seems to be making diffusers and under body panels for almost every car.. but where is ours?
I'm not looking for some flashy, I'm more looking for something that can't really be seen (newer Mercedes models have pretty well disguised diffusers)..

Has anyone tampered with this as of yet?

I've been designing one for my car, but there aren't any pictures of it (mainly because it's not completed).

Are you just wrapping other parts with carbon fiber/kevlar weave, or are you making the parts from scratch?

To be honest, I don't keep track of the aftermarket body components designed for EP3's as that chassis doesn't interest me much. So, I was just asking out of curiosity.

That's fantastic. As if I was going to make a non-working one? What would be the point of that?

Unveiling of a home made diffuser.. Haha, that's funny.. Can't wait to see it completed, I hope it's not going to be as gaudy as the ones you can buy in Japan!

I guess I don't see the humor in it, but it won't be gaudy from my perspective. It's all in the pursuit of function on my car.

Matt appears to be getting "PISSED" at ignorant and tasteless comments. If you are going to make a jab at someone, don't target someone that knows what the F@*K is going on. You should direct those at people like me!

Well, I wouldn't say "pissed"... maybe just "exhausted". I don't mind answering some questions, but if someone's going to get wise... it's not worth my effort.

Wow, over a year since I posted that. The diffuser didn't get unveiled, due to massive coolant problems last year. I didn't even go to Import Alliance last year, due to the problems. I didn't get around to finishing the diffuser this year, because I'm now a home-owner. But, I can assure you the design will be complete over the course of the next few years, as the car gets an enormous rebuild.

in the meantime, there must be a diffuser from another chassis that with some modifying will work with our cars?
