2017 Rear Valence

[MacSrc]

Could someone tell me which rear valence this is?? And does this seem to be done the right way??

It’s either the genuine GT350 rear valence or the Ikon replica.

In the last picture if you zoom in it looks to have a dimpled texture almost golf ball like.

I don’t believe the gt350 valance has that texture does it?

Definitely OEM GT350 rear valence.

Definitely OEM GT350 rear valence.

Even with the golf ball looking texture in the last pic?

Here’s some more pics the dealer has sent me, I didn’t think the gt350 valance had this texture to it

Should a rear diffuser look like that from a functional perspective ?

I though the typical design is to create a vacuum downforce on the rear.

I just took this closeup and it does have those dimples.

I believe the main purpose is to decrease drag. I would think if it does this properly there would be some increase in downforce from the faster moving air under the car.

And your is 100% OEM Ford GT350?

Unless Ford is selling its own knockoffs it is.

Yeah one tiny downside for some owners who change to the OEM GT350 rear on a regular Mustang, is the texture does not match the side skirts and front chin. the dimpled texture is not shared among the lower side and front chin spoiler of stock regular mustang.

the 2018 mustangs now however do get a dimpled insert panel that surrounds the exhaust outlets.

Honestly I never noticed it before now. My biggest gripe with it is the inner tip sticks out more then the outer one but the outer pipe is longer. I am thinking of taking it some where to have them change it but I have no idea why it was made like this.
