#242238 Do the rear bumper body kits that appear to have a diffuser actually function as such? Or is it simply aesthetic?

I'm looking for one to function correctly, and not also change the overall look of the car.

#242242 If its on some cheap "bomex" kit or whatever, probably not. I know a company that would probably custom make one for you though. They have good prices too!! :thumb:

#242879 What I'm kind of comparing my thoughts to is, if you've ever played Forza, the Forza brand rear bumper, but not to that extreme.

I understand that people make holes across the rear bumper, but I was trying to avoid that. Not completely sure that's something I'd want to do.

And, on that site, they don't advertise for civics.

#244100 just get some thin sheet metal and make something of your own? who knows? ...maybe it will turn out so well that you will end up throwing a patent on it and selling it for a couple hundred each lol.

one can dream right...?

BUT seriously... it wouldn't be that hard to make something simple out of sheet metal... you could even start off making a template out of cardboard so you don't hack up the sheet metal and screw it up lol.

something to think about :)
