Rear diffuser..

Is there one out there for our 996tt ? if so does it give any benefits of downforce, other then the cool factor--- i would really like to purchase one like this...makes it look like a dtm car !

Does the diffuser actually affect the downforce...?

I hate to be negative...but here I go: Do you really want to cover the engine like that and retain heat? Also, such a diffuser would need to be made of some seriously heat resistant materials. FWIW, I also think it looks cool.

I don't know about this particular diffuser personally, however a properly designed diffuser will affect downforce by allowing smoother rearward and over-body airflow. The effects are minimal however, when comparing other parts that are designed for lift reduction.
