Default Rear Defuser .. for IsX50

So i m really not in the mood to do a rear lip on the car so i was thinking to put a legit carbon fiber defuser in the rear that with over the exhaust as well.
just trying to get an idea from you guys how to go about this.
so please help.
thank you

Have you check out the Tom's rear? It's a lip, but also a diffuser. I don't know of anything exactly as you describe on the ISx50.

diffuser 'look' i really doubt my toms rear creates a low pressure area since it doesn't draw any air from under the car to pass thru the vanes... like the F1 cars diffusers... not that im an aerodynamacist or anything

BUT i love my toms anywayz

^ Well yeah, if you want to be technical about it. In that case, I don't think there are any true, functional diffusers out there. You'd have to go custom, and it would be a lot of work.

ˆˆˆword on that. i believe that another member here, vinconist, did a custom diffuser on his carbon fiber rear ings lip. it looked pretty cool. i dont know if it was actually functional or just aesthetic, but hey...do we actually drive fast enough to use it . maybe you can do a search on his post.

I would guess 99.9% aesthetic.
