Very stupidly drove at 75mph in a rainy 37*F night and slid off the road a bit and tapped the guardrail. No visible damage, one tiny scratch on the rear fender.

Those tires you are running could have a lot to do with that . . . Those Goodyears are some of the worst wet traction tires I've ever experienced.

Those diffusers look like real good, Bob. Did you use two sided tape for the install? I can see some screw heads, just curious about tape.

Concur completely on the rain and speed. Even in the big trucks, when it started to rain I brought it down to 55 mph.

Speaking of scratches. Any great advise on how to polish out scratches? I got some not very deep and not very big scratches around the car and would like to polish them out. Just trying to figure out what the best way would be for that!

They came with 3M emblem adhesive (the good stuff) ready to install. Find more complete information on those diffusers here: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...tml#post816511

Thanks for the tip. Picked up the kit on my way home from work today. That's what I did today for my Crossfire
Hopefully this weekend I am polishing out these little scratches...

I made some custom caps for my Crossfire. I've always liked the exposed lugs look, but couldn't find any aftermarket caps that would fit. Here's what I came up with. I flattened and painted some electrical plugs, added some custom logos, and some color matched lugs. The before and after pics are attached.
