a carbon diffuser can be pulled off IMO if done right,as in you need to rest of the car to match,IMO it can be incorporated to the GS's

I plan to add a few of these into my car eventually. I will TIG weld them and fabricate it from aluminum though. Much easier material for me because I have my own TIG lol. I'm rebuilding my whole car with a flat underbelly like the new GT-R and diffuser in the front and rear. Also going to be doing significant suspension modification. The goal is to make the car stable at high speeds of 180mph+. I think I can pull it off lol. I have reached those speeds with the current setup but it just doesn't feel very planted and smooth. A complete re-engineering is going to be necessary.

I'm going to run in the Texas mile event in a few months and I'm hoping to pull in at least 180mph.

EDIT: Yes, I like to push boundaries

where's the fun in staying within boundries? lol,pushing yourself and others to the limit is where you see what people/objects are made of

yeah that'd be a good idea,the smoother the surface the better,much credit to you for all the work you've done on your car

Beautiful GS, I love carbon anything and diffusers are coo... BUT, IMO to pull it off it needs to be in the right kind of rear bumper, One where say the diffuser appears to be recessed into the bumper, but it appears that way because the sides of the rear bumper come down a little bit to hug it or the diffuser extends to the side to meet up with the bumper. LIke this

Nah, VIS makes a knock off of the Abflug one and just uses their picture.

EDIT!! My bad, I couldn't see it in the shadow of the picture.
