I'll attempt to make one using LEXAN polycarbonate sheet instead of fiberglass. I'm gonna use small L shaped aluminium brackets to attach fins to the base.

I'm almost done with Version 2,
Who wants it?
P.S. Drilling in your spare wheel compartment is required (3 holes)

I think that's a good deal.
If you are not a fan of my fins' design, I can make your diffuser the way you want, just send me some info.
