If you are looking for your CL to have aerodynamics similar to an F1 car, then this is not the part for you, or even the car for you.

If you have any other questions, please PM me, because I feel like you just wasted space for nothing. If you knew as much as you think you know, you would not have asked in the first place if a part that goes on the back of the bumper creates down force..
Neal, by adding all this is just for cosmetic upgrade? Man, I thought this gonna give me downforce when I go over 300km.

LOL just joking I know what we doing here.

Now that you have explained, I like the looks of the diffuser as a cosmetic upgrade but I think the lady fulfills that function better.

Have fun!

Does anybody else have an extremely hard time reading this part?

But you have to admit, that was a really stupid question. Not everyone buys mods for their car only for aerodynamic improvements. It almost sounded like he was flaming us for wanting to make our cars unique in our own different ways. Not everyone lives and breathes track.

I would have to agree with everything Neal said and I would have probably responded the same way as well. Stupid questions call for smart answers.

His mama. Traded y0 mama in because she was squeaking.
Ok, now I have a some questions, if I may...

Are these diffusers ALL CF or are they CF over fiberglass?

What twill are you making them out of? What's the thread count? How thick, or how many layers?

Neal, stop replying to dumb posts.

Its not worth your valuable time. You do not need to justify yourself. The quality of your work and customer service speaks for itself.

The diffusers are FRP + Carbon. It is actually lighter this way then all carbon. But if we did it al carbon it would double the price.... This is how we make all our parts.

The carbon is 2k twil... Regarding thread count? I have never heard that term used in carbon before, only bed sheets! LOL...

I figured it would be FRP and CF, for the price. Good combination, a little stronger than CF only.

har... har... har...


2K is the thread count. There are 2,000 fine threads in each tow. That's each "big" string. Maybe it's a "potato" "potatoe" thing.




When I order CF cloth, my supplier asks me what thread count I want? 3K? 6K? 12K? and so on. Then, of course, they ask what I'd like to order: twill, satin or plain, 2x2, 4x4 etc. Then, comes color. then of course, how many yards of the stuff I want. Then, the all important Credit Card number and I'm all set.

Good luck with the project. I thought about making my own diffuser a while back, but I'm going to wait till I get the autoclave I'm making up and running, first. Vessel is there. Supporting components (bungs, vacuum and pressure pumps, heating elements, insulation, etc.) are there. Just a matter of not enough time to get a welder to turn one of the end caps into a pressure door.

Haven't asked for a discount and am not after one.

You have no basis for your inference.

Your thinking is way off the mark.

s65
WTF is going on with this crap??? Wow...fat/ugly wives not puttin out or what? Why all the hate? Stop by the local nuddie bar on the way home and get teased or something... cheer up guys.

Little pee pee needs to prove a point? downforce...

Neal (kneel, neel) was ASKED to make the part as a group buy...as a whim part that does nothing...UNDERSTOOD??

It's a screwed on part that is cosmetic...duh. Like lipstick...not functional at all like a lap band or breast implants (debatable)

Me <----31, happy and I'm perfectly ok with carbon trinkets that do nothing... to top all the bs; there is a good chance it won't fit my s65 but at least I get to rib a few time/space wasters (like myself)

Thanks for making this happen Neal. We all appreciate you and your work. I am happy adding a few #s to my car to "look cool" better than a fat wife...or big burger...

Sorry guys had to

...and yes unfounded a$$ hole remarks are very childish. I am sorry IF I offended anyone. All remarks were meant in the lightest of manners...aka salads, low carb ect ect. Long knight <---K haha (sp?)

Can not weight to see the first on roll off the line
