How does this go on your car?

I was wondering, does anyone have a pic of a DSM (or another car for that matter). I've never seen a car with a rear diffuser before...

I'm assuming it goes on upside-down (from how it is in those pictures) underneath the back of your car right?

Yes, you take it and stick it up your rear.

However, unless you have a full underbody pan and are lowered enough (within two inches) for it to matter, those seeing it will regard you as a foppish git who views his car as a place for disposing of money, which you used to have more of than brains. They're completely useless on the street. Although they can serve to advise you, when backing into parking spaces, that you're "there".

Haha, you always crack me up man... But seriously, I wasn't planning to get it or anything, I prefer the stock look. I was just curious as to what the hell that was or what it does.

It diffuses the trailing Low Pressure bubble of air, improving ground effect downforce.

on real racecars.

On street cars, it makes small children point their little fingers while giggling so hard they blow low-pressure snot bubles.

So in other words... it's another "aluminum wing"... but underneath? I'm assuming this only works at ungodly speeds as well. Oh well, learned something new.

It fits in the grand-canyon opening underneath the GT300 widebody kit. i'm yet to see it on a car, might come out nice, might not.

In theory, a rear diffuser is as useful as a body kit, adjustable spoiler or painted rims. If you bought a body kit, feel no shame in buying a rear diffuser. If you think cars need to be lowered to corner better, then you will also believe rear diffusers will help you on the street.

Yeah, just wondering what the hell that was since I'd never seen one before. I actually don't think it looks too bad, if you're going for that all out show look that is.

Also, a quick question for you guys. I never bothered to lower my car, since I don't see a purpose in it, but I did buy a front and rear strut bar. They're tightened and stiff, but I don't see any improvement in chassis flex/handling... is it just me?

Did you adjust the bars?

 

[stock1g4g63]

Adjust? Please be more specific, I'm kinda dumb when it comes to anything other than motor work.

I made sure the bars were all tight and stiff, I could move the car by holding onto the bars. Is there something else I'm supposed to do?
