I am interested, but our competition regulations in Australia call for the leading edge of the splitter to fall within the verical plan view of the OEM bumper, so the splitter needs to be constructed wthin this constraint. The sample photo does not make it clear how far forward the splitter protrudes ...

Dude you're killing me.. I know that fascia is on there.. with the canards.. and it's like you're dangling a donut in front of me.. WTF? I know you didn't have a camera out there.. but someone had to!

I keep seeing teaser pics and videos that show nothing.. I'm beginning to think I should put my hat back on.. uhh.. and find a cat I can do the same..

Thanks bro, your diffuser looks awesome, more companies should look at that diffuser and start designing from there.

I always defined the "rice car standard" as "not functional." If the piece i.e. a large race wing is functional it wouldn't be rice. Then again I guess on the street the only way to really prove its not rice is to leave the dude, but I wouldn't condone that.

Btw, the pics have "expired" please provide new link because I'm definitely interested.

Well, wat I meant as a joke was that at street speeds im not sure how functional it would be. For race im sure it is functional. That's all.

don't worry I took it lightly, its just that "ricer" has been thrown around for years, I'm sure many forgot what it means
