what's a wet eraser?
taking a pencil with an eraser on the end of it, getting it wet and then using the eraser on the black corrugated plastic portions of the car that have was stuck in there. It pulls the wax out without making the plastic look dull
The DG bumper looks purely cosmetic to me... I don't think it would have a good or bad impact on performance. It doesn't look like it sticks any further under the car than the stock bumper. It looks good though, definitely not a bad design.
The bottom of our car is pretty flat... compared to most stuff out there. It's still no Ferrari. I'd think someone could design a rear diffuser that would be an improvement over stock. It would have to be done by someone with either race car aerodynamics experience or a wind tunnel (or both).
I've seen too many cars slowed down drastically by poorly designed aero parts. I'd rather stick with stock than stick something on the car that's of unknown performance. Hood vents, front lips and CF grilles and stuff like that are one thing, but side skirts, wings, and diffusers are parts I'd only consider buying if they were at least track tested (if not wind tunnel tested).
I remember the awful crap that was popular 8 years ago. Some of the bumpers were so poorly designed they'd rip themselves apart at high speed from the airflow pulling and shaking them around (the chopper gun fiberglass they were made out of didn't help either). I remember seeing a riced out VW golf lose it's whole rear bumper on the interstate at 90mph because all the mounting tabs broke off. To me it was hilarious, to the owner, not so much. The civic racing behind him didn't find it funny either.
Oh, I'm rambling again.
