I got in on the $245 rear diffuser group buy, but my number is high at 28. I look
forward to installing it. I know it will improve the looks of the car from the rear,
but am really interested in how it improves high-speed handling. I went with the
wrinkle black finish, but really had trouble deciding between gloss or wrinkle blacks.
I draw the line against adding extra weight unless it adds performance value.

Yeah I want to see pictures too. I didn't get in on the group buy due to other financial obligations but it looks interesting.

Looks pretty legit. Think this mod will be more of form over function. Based off tracking the s2000 most diffusers tend to pull the rear of the car down. The design of the rear of the car in high speed corners causes lift in the rear. There is turbulence that build between the rear bumper and underneath. That's why a spoiler and some people even go to as far as drilling holes in the rear bumper to help excess air travel through. On corners of 85 and above you can definitely feel it. This looks like a pretty nice piece though so I don't wanna take anything away from it. Good luck with them gentlemen.

Mine was in the first batch to ship and my tracking number is showing an arrival date of 25 May! Looks like its coming from Washington State, I wonder if he is shipping from Canada or if hes driving across to ship them since I believe I remember hearing he was in Canada
