    1qaz and to anybody else that has a gripe with my diffuser.. Once the diffuser is properly bolted on, you can actually move the car side to side, the material does not need to be any thicker unless you just want to add weight. I can't believe that you went as far as to touch that car.. I'm sure you can't afford anything on that car for you to do that. I spoke with the owner about it, and this is what he reply:



    Also a the diffuser don't have to be as strong as a front splitter. Performance Technic have installed and recommends my diffuser to their customers. Few members here that actually track their cars have run them on track, and it hold and do what it's suppose to, just fine.. There are no numbers, but it generate enough down force to pull down the oem diffuser if not Bolted properly.

    Thank you for going out of your way to bash on my piece. Every time you did it, I got pm from other members, ending in sales. .

    Thanks guys..

    I wish you would come and touch my car taking a video trying to bring hate to a member of the community that is building these things from scratch in his garage for us.

    I wish you would.

    Looks really good. Would it fit with a quad exhaust?

    Bigger tips needed. That diffuser is the tits though. How much in materials did it cost, if you don't mind my asking?

This is a piece that is going under the car and is barely noticeable to most people and you're complaining about thickness?? It is already strong a shit, and as long as it is installed correctly there will be no flex that would affect anything aerodynamically. I think you are giving too much effort to make this diffuser look bad, and even making a video of it?? These pieces are assembled in a small garage and all pieces are cut by hand, so I did not expect laser cut quality. I have the most respect for Mateo for the creativity he has and the talent that he produces out of that little garage. Such a motivated dude!

    Also by the way, DTM makes absolute shit parts, PLUS you'll be paying out the ass, and you'll have to fix it, and find a way to mount it without ruining it. It's common knowledge that more than half the shit they send out the door should require THEM to pay you to put it on your car, it's that unacceptable.

    Also, on the flex piece, you DO NOT have horizontal physical forces being applied to the diffuser. It's there to redirect and manage airflow coming from the front to the rear. NOT side to side. Thicker would be stronger, but add weight, no functional benefit, and be more expensive and more difficult to cut.

    Wind tunnel testing? Are you effing kidding me? Sure you could, and for what? .05 coefficient of drag improvement and a .006 second improvement on a half mile drag race. Give it up, nobody uses these cars at that kind of competitive level to where it would matter.

    These are really badass, look great, no doubt work great, and are handmade. There will always be small flaws when something is hand done, it's part of the process, part of the charm. No doubt tons of time went into making the design up, and even more goes into making them each and every time for members.

    Don't like it? Make one yourself. I dare you. Everyone likes to talk trash, but they sure as hell don't want to put in the effort or the time. Shit, these are worth it for looks alone.

    Keep up the good work OP.

    Spyke killed that competition! I agree, flaws are part of the process when products are handcrafted
