hah, I have guys workin on it now, if they cant get feels, ill try and contact them at bulletproof.
Honestly, it is two flat pieces of CF with two strakes coming off of it. A three-year-old could lay carbon fiber in that shape and carbon fiber in that amount isnt THAT expensive.
That diffusor could be duplicated in aluminum for $250 parts and labor at any decent fabricator in the country.

S2X is selling a pretty sweet AXLE diffuser, $800 I believe, but you will need a 1 off exhaust system. As most JDM products, I can't attest to its performance.

Ridiculous you say? Let's look at it from a functionality standpoint, shall we?
Any wing other than the APR GTC-200 retails $1k or higher when it's application specific. Do wings work? Yes, they do. They provide negative lift, but also have a side effect called drag.
Rear diffusers can also produce negative lift(lower quantities) with the benefit of less drag.
Now I ask you, do you still think it's ridiculous that a diffuser runs close to a grand or that a wing does?
