We thought of that but couldn't find any that would look good.
Not being able to find something you're imagining in your head is the worst. Especially something simple like damn weatherstripping.

That guy's diffuser also got the gears turning in my head. I have no idea how he bent up those strakes.
Those are some pretty inconspicuous welds then because I can't see them. lol The only other way I can think is that he made a mold and stamped them out.
First thing I thought was the bottom of a aluminum boat, sorry for the crappy pic I don't know what their called so its the best I could find on google.
I wonder if they did find some existing boat parts. That would make things a LOT easier!
I’m just guessing, but I think 908SSP’s is probably more functional.
Me too, my diffuser (still not 100% done) is almost an exact copy of Alex's (Alex made most of it, imagine that!). My exhaust dumps at the axle though so we used the space to exhaust the rear tires/wheels. Its going to look pretty crazy from the back.908SSp's on the other hand are an inspiration to all of those who want a ground effects aero car. lol I have a project in my head for modifying my stock bumper that will be in line with what Alex did.
Very cool. Do you know what the HE is cooling? Transaxle?It'll be kind of like the C6.R (Take note of the Heat exchanger in the trunk Jason) with the Mesh above the diffuser to let the trapped air escape.
Although I wish I could do something as extravagant as the 599XX
Thanks!
I too thought of doing what you did as a basis for mounting a splitter as well as a good upgrade for if I made the splitter a track only piece.
I was inspired by this racecar.

What kind of ideas do you have for the rest of your aero package?

That is pretty cool looking but I had not seen that before.
The first picture below is of the top side supports and the rear support. The rear square tube support is bolted through an existing wheel well opening hole. The front of the top side supports use the existing fascia screw mounts.
The second picture show the top side supports and the bottom side supports in place. not all pieces were cut to length in this photo.
The center bottom side aluminum flat stock hides the seam in the two panels in the last picture. This is the finished project except that I later cut a hole for the radiator drain tube and plugged it with a rubber body hole plug.
I also haf my first attempt ar venting underhood air. These shots are the cuts in the hood and with the louvered vents just setting in place.
And I used the stock lower grill with hogging out the honeycomb on the outer portions for "hidden" brake ventilation which yo ucan see some of the ducting in some of my pictures.
Looks good. I'm sure the chin doesn't budge a bit.
Is there a particular reason you chose the pattern you did on the hood vents.
Jack Mauer. But I think he sold it.
damn I was gonna ask him to make me a copy haha
ha You could always contact Cortex racing and inquire about it. I think they did all the work on his car.
It is good to get the air out of the engine bay, but I have to say that getting out through the hood is the most ideal route especially since it will create downforce along the way. Venting it out under the car does the opposite.
...
My ultimate aero goals for the hood and venting the air are to fabricate a deep draw 'ramp' that mates to ductwork under the hood. This, in addition to completely sealing in the heat exchanger and radiator, would leave the air coming through the grill nowhere to go but through my cooling devices and out the top. A la Corvette C6.R.
