........

I'll admit that it looks good and I'll be able to test it tomorrow on the autobahn and Nurburgring since they'll have the VLN configuration
Do you have any more photos of the diffuser? And does the Nismo bumper limit how high up the diffuser can tuck up?

If it wasn't for ClovisLotus I wouldn't totally forgot about this thread. Anyway, I wasn't able to test it at the Nurburgring prior to returning stateside but on the autobahn the diffuser worked like a charm with the car feeling stable on straights up to 140mph and planted on bends up 130mph (both cases due to catching up to traffic). On normal winding roads I noticed a slight increase in stability, but nothing significant. My aero currently consists of the diffuser, the ZSpeed front undertray and modified Aimgain canards, so yours being a bit more involved with a front splitter and rear GT wing, the diffuser would obviously be more beneficial.

I haven't taken many of the diffuser, however if there are any specific angles you'd like to see let me know and I can take some.

The current limiting factor on mine are the mufflers on the FI exhaust. For an exhaust similar to the Motordyne, or one of the OEM-styled ones where they tuck higher up into the bumper, I'm sure you'd be able to raise it quite a bit more. I'm debating selling mine with the FI exhaust so that I can pick up another diffuser with an E370, Garageline or Invidia so that it fits properly. Another thing I failed to mention previously was that due to our rear bumper being longer, the diffuser doesn't stick out as far as it is intended when used with the Base/Sport bumper; however, it does still flow naturally with the "diffuser" area of the Nismo bumper albeit unintentionally.
