Rayth - Any particular reason for not installing? And/or, if anyone has a set they would consider parting with (OEM not aftermarket) let me know! Thanks.

Would be interesting seeing your "mock" design...Carl

Regarding the mockup - was thinking of trying to incorporate a bit more aerodynamic efficiency. Open to suggestions if anyone has the interest.

My thoughts Carl.. unless someone is paying for wind tunnel testing.. it's all aesthetic efficiency gains..

Other than a full plate dragging the ground.. I don't think 0-60 or 1/4 mile times will change from them.

Mr. G...Agree with your assessment of the beneficial "function" of this type rear diffuser ... I, too feel that it possess an aesthetic property only( perhaps from a layman's view).. Carl

Well a couple silly reasons.. was thinking of color matching them to the rest of the car but figured I'd wait to get the whole thing in the shop for some touch up and installation of a set of side skirts I've got hanging around... and then there was was talk of Carbon Fiber versions that would match my hood.. and then the thought of maybe hydrodipping them Carbon Fiber... and now at this point, my car is in cosmetically rough shape so adding the aesthetic diffusers won't be doing much since I don't plan on any car shows this year...

I've got some measurements of them in my gallery if you want to see the dimensions for your mockup plans

LOL I had a OEM set sitting in garage for 3+ years because I couldn't decide whether to paint them black to match the car, silver to match the trim or CF them. Finally settled on black and recently installed them. At least I made the right color choice.

You'd have to ask FUBU from SRT6.com. Personally, I have lost consumer confidence. Truth is, I never really had it. He has dropped the ball w/ his communication. I do give him credit for trying though.

Tried the SRT6.com, just goes to test page for Apache HTTP server, so no luck.
I've got some fiberglass work to do on a boat, but once that's done I should be able to set some time aside for this project.

You have to use the correct address.
SRT-6.com - Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6

Thanks, missed the hyphen, or maybe it was just my fat fingers.....
Carbon fiber diffuser looked interesting, maybe I'll wait on mock-up to see if they actually produce any.
