And as you know, any aero piece that's been through that kind of design and testing process is going to be big money.

I'd be interested to see if those kind of diffusers offer any real benefit on cars that don't have a fully sculpted under tray.
I completely agree with you sir. The thing is though that the diffuser is the one thing that wont create lift and helps tidy up the air flow out the rear of the car. Faster flow there = lower pressure = downforce + Stability. Rear wing and front wing are different stories. You also have to differentiate between spoilers, splitters, diffusers and wings. I would buy a splitter, diffuser and a spoiler from a normal vendor, but not a rear or a front wing. Uneven, untested downforce = ftl
