So we all remember the infamous rice porsche that came out about a year and a half ago.

It seems they've toned it down a bit and come up with some new parts.

Most interesting are the carbon diffuser for stock bumpers, and carbon front spliters and side carbon wing elements which look prety gangster.

The front headlight covers are still rice but you guys can discuss that amongst yourselves.

Does anyone in north america make a diffuser?

tell me about it.
the sane person in me is saying that's way too busy... but the schizophrenic in me wants the carbon diffuser.

I showed my wife the pics on the website and she said:

"If a guy drives that car on the street he's telling everyone he needs a bigger *****."

I threw up on the keyboard, that is hideous.....why do people continue come up with kits that destroy the lines of the car?!?!? And, why the hell do these people buy them?!?!

Is it hiding a trailer hitch?

I honestly thought that the photos were a bad photoshop job... why would anyone put that on their car?!?!

I'm sure it's expensive, but it looks cheap and taped on to me.

Thanks. Very nice. Who installed the body kit?

So the rear diffuser, beside looking like they ran over the recycle bin, would that actually be functional? Or does the underside have a big ol gap that runs air into the bumper?

A rear air diffuser covers the lower part of the engine, which allows the air to move with less resistance under the rear of the car, thereby increasing the downforce. Not sure if the J.N. Hephaiss diffuser has been wind tunnel tested

Check out he Werks One site (part of champion motorsport) for a couple of pics of their diffuser for the 997 Turbo. werks 1
