wait, so is the rear underside of the car covered? I agree that the underneath of the wind flow could be improved on the GS, especially at high speeds for the front, but I see the bumper painted black and nothing underneath...?

Tape off about a 2 inch thickness around your rear bumper & cover your exhaust tips and spray the pastidip on the lower bumper if there's overspray you can just peel it right off. It's weather proof & waterproof. I used it to matte black my bmw window trim a year ago and still looks the same as day 1if you don't like it just peel it off. $8 mod.

Poor choice of words on my part it's just our lower factory bumper painted matte black via plastidip. I'm sure there's some aerodynamics in play with that area of the bumper but it's not a diffuser technically.

Yup. Just spotted a beat up 98-00 GS300 with inner lights so faded, they were clear.
