Top Secret CF rear diffuser (pics)

The huge aluminum crossmember that the suspension bolts to is in front of that.
So, my thought is, if this piece's front edge (the edge toward the front of the car) is higher than the low part of the first crossmember, then little or no airflow will "push down" on this part, which was one thing I wondered about when it was reveled that it only attached at the sides and rear.
Now vacuum is another animal.

"A rear diffuser, otherwise known as a venturi, isdesigned to create a low-pressure or vacuum area under the rear of the car using a physics principle known as the Venturi effect. In essence, a diffuser is like an air channel that is designed to accelerate the air out from underneath the back of the car and help to both minimize underbody wind turbulence and to create negative lift at the rear of the car."

going to the bodyshop tomorrow. GTNPU Z went today and checked on my car for me...said the fade job on the hood is SICK!! I have to check it out in person tomorrow, and hopefully do some test fitting with the diffuser. I'll post pics if I do get to the test fitting.
