If I had a list of 20+ people with deposits in hand I would have a product on the market before Christmas... But that's not going to happen. There is just not that much interest in the product.

Our design looks similar to an F430 challenge rear diffuser
A rear diffuser similar to the top secret (or mastergrade) one from the 350 has been one of the most requested items on this forum. IMO, sales would be amazing if it was in any way functional and aesthetically pleasing.

I'd be down for cutting out part of the bumper for a functional diffuser. I'm guessing the sectioned off area?

I have been looking for one that is similar to the Varis diffuser but on the sides that wrap around the rear bumper it doesnt have the molded part above the lines that swoop down. The middle looks more like the Fujimura. I dont know if that makes sense I will try to find the picture after work and post it up.

Sounds like the Evo-R diffuser.

No it's not the Evo-R diffuser. This one wraps completely around the side of the rear bumper like the Varis except that on the left and right side it doesnt have the molding that goes higher up on the rear fender. The sides are more like side blades if you will and the rear looks almost like the fujimura. I am thinking it may be a one off custom diffuser as I have not been able to find it. Ill post it up in here in a few hours. But if UAM made it I would buy it!

Our diffuser design is along these lines:


It would require cutting of your oem bumper. I am working on the fitment and exhaust cut outs.

I was behind a mini van (stock) today that had a diffuser. They may be getting played out...

I think they did a petition before. I'd say it would have the same amount of people if not more.

I'd personally be more willing to jump on the boat if the diffuser didn't require OEM cutting, but if the results are worth it, let's break the sawsall out

If I was to do it... I would want the whole rear bumper with the custom exhaust required to do it right. Don't think you're going to get the function without moving those dang mufflers out of the way. To me it's not worth doing unless there's some real functional benefit. But I don't think my personal preferences coincides with most of the people that would be buying this.

Personally, I don't like any of those paste on panels.

Hey guys since I have been at SEMA all week I have gathered some great Ideas for the diffuser. I am looking at how we can make the unit fit with the stock bumper with ZERO modification. This may mean the diffuser sticks out further back from the car but will be able to utilize all exhausts outside of quad exhausts.
