Jetstream upper diffuser

Postby carlmx5 » Wed Nov 21, 2012 9:03 pm

hey guys, I've been looking around for something to spice up my rear of my 1999 NB and came across the upper diffuser by jetstream on rev9 autosport. Was just wondering, has anyone installed one yet? and is it just a straight bolt on kit and cut out where the 2 wholes are in the center to give it that mesh look, or do i have to trim some of the bumper to put it on? Thanks

here is the link to the product.

I have both parts on my vehicle, it will cost you thru rev9 an arm and leg.

It's got no benefit alone accept for looks, the whole under tray would need to be flat to see any real improvement in aero FYI.

You need to measure then cut your rear bumper in order to fit the car. Then you tape the top edge and combine the rest.

I was basically thinking the same thing while looking at a Mazda 3, very similar and looks nice.

It would be cheaper, though more time consuming to source one from the wreckers and adapt to your car. Would not be too difficult.
