That's what I think... I'm might be wrong.
True but the one I bought from them (accolade's evo 7 kit) came as a fiberglass and it did crack like a fiberglass. It is crispy like doritos or lays.

I am in for the rear. I may be interested in the front but I would really like to see if it is compatible with my do-luck lip first. I'd hate to spend the $$ on the lip only to see that it isn't compatible with the new front end.

the thing with the diffuser is it's functional to a point. the whole idea behind a diffuser is that it allow the air to expand in the rear causing lower pressure than the air above, hence creating downforce the perfect area (the rear of the car).

the other thing it does in this application is allows the air to curve up from under the car to more smoothly meet the air that is going over the car. this smoother joining of the two air streams reduces drag.

now the shortcoming of this bumper nad ANY bumper in fact, is the fact that the bumper is a bumper and is not a one piece aero unit that stretches far under the car. so this bumperness of the rear bumper bascially makes it a wind catcher like all other bumpers are because the under/inside areas of the bumper are not sealed off.

the solution is simple... have an undertray made, can be as simple as a sheet of cf or aluminum to effectively seal off the wind glove area and BAM you have a really aerodynamically sound hiney.

this is possibly the best rear bumper i've ever seen (excludnig the hks trb evo). it is seriously purpose built and you can tell by how steep the upward curvature is... definitely has the rejoining of the underbody air in mind.

also... polyurathenized fiberglass or fiber glass joined with urathane epoxy of however tehy do it is better than fiberglass because fiberglass is brittle... this is a bumper... if you bumpb fiberglass you don't get give you get chips flakes and dorito action.
