What do you guys do with the puddle of water on the diffuser? Washed my car and look under the car and the diffuser looked like a bird bath. lol. 
My only solution now is to take it for a spin to get all the water off. Im thinking about drilling a few drainage holes. Any suggestions?

diffusers aren't at their best when it also allows air to travel above it

theese diffusors are garbage...not hattin on anyone but theese things are really nto even that functional...buy some aluminun sheet metal.tig welder and saw and you could fabricate one that will look 1000x better and probably actualy work...in order for theese to make a diff you need to have the entire underbody smooth or the rear will just catch air and create more turbulance. the only one that looks halfway decent is the passwordjdm one and i would never spend 4k on that....id rather use a thin light weight plastic or sheet aluminum

This DBS is Beautiful! Notice that the diffuser actually sticks out a bit further from the rear bumper, as it should to be functional.
CF is lightweight and hard to puncture, also better at heat resistant to what it covers. Aluminum or sheet metal is heavier than carbon fiber.

carbon is obviously lighter but theese highend cars have research put into there bodies and its a system of parts not just somethin you slap on, the diffusor has to stick out futher from the bumper at pretty much each angle in order to truely work...
