Aluminum rear diffuser install
#321
Ok, ok I think I'll just send my deposit since it already seems like a guarantee for 20.
My only concern is the structure of the rear tie bar. Is there a way to increase the rigidity by possibly boxing it to avoid any possible flexing?
I figure if I'm gonna reaplace the stock one, it should be a stronger piece if possible.

Can you pick the front STB color? Also will this piece clear the supercharger from like Comptech, Vortech, SOS?
Very nice diffuser, if fitment is good this piece looks like a great deal

The strut tower bar is about as high as it can be without actually hitting the hood and its only 3/4" tall oval tube. If any strut bar would fit, this one will. If you need any dimensions to any specific point in the engine bay, just ask and I can probably let you know pretty quick. I can offer the strut tower bars in a red and black wrinkle, I can do them custom colors, but it would cost extra.
As for the brace included in the diffuser kit. The OEM stiffener is 16ga steel and has 3/4" tall channel flanges. The one included in the kit is 14ga, has a 1" tall flange in the front and 1.5" tall flange in the back, cross sectionally it has atleast twice as much tensile strength as the OEM brace.

I almost wish it was only for the first 20 since I feel like there are probably going to be a lot of people that are gonna wait til it hits 20 to get in.

If people want to wait til the last minute thats fine, judging by the 13 deposits in 2 days, its pretty much a guarantee we're going to have 20 people. I think once people get these and we start getting reviews and more pictures back there will be higher demand for a second group buy in a couple months. Hopefully by then I have more to offer and we can roll out a group buy for a full diffuser.

I don't think we should cap the list. It is unrealistic to expect everyone to have $245-$350 just laying around in this economy. Plus, that would go against the culture of this community.

For the rear-side units, if you make them rise to meet the liner (please do) maybe you could make them a two=piece design that could bolt together at the joint so they could lie flatter for shipping? Just a thought since you said you were concerned about shipping costs for those.
Really looking forward to underbody and front splitter options at this value. It's something I always wanted to do, but not for $2000 for the Password setup. It seems like a stealthier way to improve aero than a big ricer wing.

I agree, a diffuser is a much more effective way to increase downforce, and unlike a wing it will reduce drag vs. increase it.
I was also thought about making the liner add on a second piece, great minds must think alike.
