ok, if found these 2. Now, this was the first one he made and the guy he made it for was kind of being a dick so he didnt end up completing it.
Any other shots of the red ms3 ? not bad at all.

I am still surprised that there is not a rear diffuser that is functional for this car, i mean there are plenty of MS3s that would buy one, and no doubt some Mz3s that would buy one as well.
I would be all over a functional diffuser, as well as some "conservative" dive planes for this car.

WOW, Here is the PERFECT part $$$$$
It even comes with its own third brake light.
I think the manufacturer is english

And then ?
Turbo23 is correct. Rear diffusers have an almost negligible effect unless the entire underside of the car is a flat sheet. Also for diffusers to be effective they cannot slope up at a super steep angle. The one we churned out at work for a top speed salt flats car I think was between 7-9deg. I think I remember being told that once you get over 14deg flow separates and the piece doesn't work.
With all that said, I think the DG piece looks great, but I doubt it helps from an aero standpoint.

I use this on that part every time I wash the car. Under the front lip on the black piece too.
I'm anal and use a cheap tire dressing to spray the wheel wells to make them nice and black too.
When I'm done, my car looks like it's never been driven.

Meguiars' Trim Detailer works well also. It's a little thicker than the Mothers' which I think makes it a little easier to work with. It also gives more of a shine in one application - at least when I use it.

Good to know. I've never used it but will keep an eye out for it.
