Do you have the RE-A rear diffuser installed on your 8 as well? If so, I would LOVE to see some pictures.

I think the Super Dolphin and that diffuser could be under the rear of my 8 by end of this year. :x:

A spoiler doesn't always mean more down force.

A spoiler changes the air flow (or spoils the natural way air flows over the object). It can be used to lessen the pocket of air behind the car that can act as a vacuum and pull, holding the car from going faster.

That is why when a car is drafting the front car can go faster than if it was by itself.

Great, I love it! =)! I will definitely love to get one of this for myself, but I will have to get my lovely 8 first! =(!!!!! ACKKK!!!!

By the way, if it is me I would keep it as Carbon Fibre, because I personally love how the carbon fibre look; the texture and such. On the other hand, I guess this is completely out of personal preference, correct? =)!!

Yeah, looks like he's the first in the U.S. And I'll have the distinction of being the very first (and probably the only one?) with vortex generators ala Evo MR.
