anymore shots of the diffuser?
maybe a 3/4 view?

--- after I had problems with the layup on my custom diffuser, I've been looking around for an off the shelf solution for the C-west rear...

custom diffusers aren't hard to make. it only gets hard when you're picky about how you want it to work lol. I was planning on making a custom one for the cwest bumper too. i'm sure with all the expensive equipment, we can figure out the best design for different speeds etc. but for now it's a peace of mind just believing and somewhat feeling that something underneath me is doing its job in general (which is why I got a pretty generic & practical one by APR).

the APR diffuser has enough surface area in general. only thing is I wish they expanded width-wise so that there's some surface area for the air behind the rear tires.

Take a look at this site that I post here. It's a guy that reviews almost all the historic / present lemans prototype cars and their / and his ideas behind all the aerodyanmic layouts (little gimmicks here and there that affect pressure changes) along with the different designs:
http://www.mulsannescorner.com/
If you scroll down and look at the menu on the left, you'll see the different makes & models. have fun! maybe this will help you out on your custom diffuser.

^^^ actually used that site for info when I designed mine...


It really bummed me out (after all the work I put into it) to watch the epoxy eat the foam core...

--- always research chemical inter-reactions before you start laying on the solvents



APR looks great
I just wish it had jack point access...

if you'd like i can send you a link of a facility in Florida that only deals with cloth weaves of various sorts. they make hybrid fibers with fiberglass and carbon fiber etc. For some molds that I'm making, I use car wax as the release agent. Maybe you forgot to use a release agent .
