If you do not want to buy a diffuser for $100, you can go to Home Depot and get this drill thing where they sell power tools at. It looks like a white pvc pipe cap with those saw teeths on it.

I think someone on http://www.allmota.com did this.

I'm a lil confused, thats just drillin holes in you back bumper to create less drag correct??

If so silly drag racers...ahaha jk...

I've seen it done with the hole saw things looked good......but I'm guessing after market adds bling bling??

im making my own. .. STR ones and the AC ones are too bling bling. . all polished and stand out too much im making mine by cutting holes and using subwoofer box ports to slide in to make it look clean. i bought the ones that are only 1 inch deep. ill prolly use alil crazy glue to make sure they stay in.

usually the reason you would get a ticket is because people take out the rear bumper support, i have holes in my bumper and was harrassed by a cop the other day about it, no ticket though because he never really had probable cause to pull me over, except harassing me
he did point out it was illegal, and he could give me a ticket for it

No sir, I'm with you. Seems like it might attract more unwanted attention. But if you need it, then more power to ya

it's a stupid mod for the street, and paying money to add on a shiny piece of metal to accentuate your newly ruined bumper just adds to the display of idiocy.
