New Diffuser For S550

[l'Ingegnere]

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this. The company touts their usage of CFD for aero part development. Might be a nice alternative to some of the more non-functional plastic replacements that have been offered.

All the fins! Tbh that looks gross and just stuck on there. I can't imagine the final product would flow any better with the car. Also their hood vents look like heat register covers too :barf:

Appearances are always subjective. I'm pretty sure this actually makes downforce compared to some silly piece of plastic tacked on in place of the OEM "diffuser".

I would look good on my base rear bumper.

Too busy and stuck on for my taste.

A friend of mine is cutting his base bumper to add a mesh opening of either side. Will look like the mesh heat extractors that are currently available for the hood...

I don't doubt it's functional because it definitely looks so. I just don't think it looks like it belongs on the car the way it's mounted under the factory diffuser.

I used to and still do love the Top Secret diffusers for the JDM cars

Not sure how functional they actually were but as you said it's all subjective.

First we have double chinned splitters, and now double chinned diffusers?

Not for me.

And how does it transfer that downforce to the wheels ? Through crappy looking plastic and tiny bolts ?

How is the belly pan held onto the front of our cars? Or the OEM diffuser on the rear?

Definitely not a fan in the look departments.

I think this will only look good/decent on the base rear bumpers. It looks like just a little too much on the premium bumpers. Like, two sets of fins just look a little odd in my opinion.

But I also think it would put it into a better perspective if we had a wider view of the rear instead of such up close pictures.

Subbed for sure though.

Do they generate substantial downforce - like this thing is supposed to ?

Interesting, would look alright on a base bumper. If AM doesnt figure out its rear diffuser i may look into this.

 

[Chameleon]

That looks terrible.

Not a huge fan of the look...
