aggressive DIY rear diffuser ...for under 100 bucks!
It looks great the way it is now. Maybe the next one you make you add 2 or 3 more fins and play with spacing. But honestly it looks very good, IMHO.

Just tossing this out there, but you know...
You could use your orginial as a mold. Create a ceramic mold aorund it, then fill the mold with plastic resin and start producing them.
They would need a little sanding, and a coat of paint when they came out, but be basicly "done"
*edit* thinking about it, you could do the same thing, but rather than use plastic resin, use strips of glass into the ceramic mold, then fill it with fiberglass resin, and create lightweight fiberglass ones...with the bolts already attached.

You should branch out and start making front lips. It'll probably fit better than this guy's Bayson R lip. https://www.i-club.com/forums/bay-ar...review-243740/
