Taking it to the body shop tomorrow. Having the fins painted the same pearl white as the car.
More to come, maybe. I don't know.

I have the same one, test fit it on the car before going to the paint. Depending on your exhaust it may need the driver side front corner trimmed a bit...
Who makes that?

Yeah, I thought that looked like skillard's. He said he'd be making one for the 2nd gen 3k bumper with the diffuser cut off. I'm thinking maybe it's not gonna happen.
As I said in his thread, if he makes one, I'd buy it.

Looks nice but it doesn't really look very functional as is
Bigger....
Looks great B-Man!
Do you have more pics of that Em? From the front, facing the rear? It doesn't look tight to the underbody maybe it's the camera angle or something? How close is it to the gas tank? What are those ovals cut into it in each ramp? Do you have any close-up pics?
Not my car FYI, just what I think is an example of a good diffuser.Quote:

I was gonna say...I prefer GZP's diffuser...:)
Why? What makes it preferable to you?Quote:

That car was made by Eric he is on Socal3s.com. It was custom made he ended up throwing it in the dumpster after he parted the car outQuote:

Interesting side exit exhaust on the 3k.
I don't think the one on the 3k looks that good. the stealth looks good but I think thats because he cut the bumper for it.
wow those look amazing
Love how they did the side-skirts as well, mudflaps on the black one...awesome
only terrible thing is the exhaust :p
I'm liking that, I've wanted to do something like that for a while.Quote:

Measure the overall length of your vehicle (L) from nose to rear. Next measure the height (h) of the vehicle off the ground. Divide those two numbers together say 6in (0.5 ft) / 168in (14 ft) = 0.035. A rear diffuser at 10 degrees angle of attack (originating from the body center as illustrated) attached to a 14ft long body with a ride height of 6" has a and ideal Cd and a negative lift of .85. As you increase the angle of attack by 1 degree increments you basically divide the (L) x (h) multiplier by .7 (give or take). Looks something like this.
At 11 degrees >> 6 / 168 = 0.035 / .7 = 0.050
At 12 degrees >> .050 / .7 = 0.071
At 13 degrees >> .071 / .7 = 0.102
At 14 degrees >> .102 / .7 = 0.146
At 15 degrees >> .146 / .7 = 0.208
At 16 degrees >> .208 / .7 = 0.290 = Diffuser will stall
So, let's be real, chances are, you're not going to be able to start a diffuser at half the length of the car. What's the affect of having it about 1/4 the length of the car?
Also, what are the axis on the graph?
I didn't post this for opinions, Just posting a mod made by Skillard/3sx. Nor did I make a thread for "suggestions for redesign, pointing to better options, or commenting towards future design considerations." By all means make a thread for such things, I'm fully supportive of advancing the platform, but I didn't even know GZP had one for sale and I couldn't for the life of me get a hold of a morgan motorsports rear diffuser.
lol!
Don't stress so much, it's a forum, every thread gets filled with opinions, if you don't like it, don't read it.
if you have something else you want to say and you don't want all this babel with it, then make a new thread :)
I personally find that Aero talk is very very interesting, some of the best threads come from the oddest of starts, be proud man!
<-- *Confused*
I'm not stressed, I was commenting on the ADD nature of 3/S threads.
Ooh! a squirrel!!!!!!!!
Every forum I've ever been a part of has always done this. It's just a natural progression of a 'conversation'Quote:
