Message	Please update your profile. I wasn't being an A** in my previous response so don't get so agitated w/ what people write, I was just giving you idea's 2ndly, you're better off lowering weight off the car to increase performance rather than creating a diffuser which I would see only beneficial under track conditions. Like suggested before, you'd be adding weight to the vehicle even if you managed to create it out of lightweight alum. you'd still be looking at an addl 50-100 lbs gained that the Z doesn't need.
