Still a bit of clean up needed before primer but everything clears and is functional.

A little tech that probably most know....a carbide tip/flush trim router bit works great for trimming aluminum. I needed to bend the aluminum first and then cleco it in place to scribe the shape so it perfectly fit to the tips, then rough cut to shape, then straightened the cuts with a router.

Still designing the center section of the diffuser. Will likely 3D print in plastic. Stepping away from this for now, just needed to get this area mostly tidied up.

Those wings will get trimmed way down...just waiting until the rear spoiler is underway so all of it will tie together.

Not like you need any sort of input from me cause I think you're doing a killer job with all facets of your build but thought I would share this rear diffuser pic I have on file for inspiration.

Fuel Tank and Differential vents: Started with these mounts from Chassisworks.

Then drilled a hole large enough for the JRi reservoirs and fab'd up these covers for the holes. Added a split tube for the reservoir hose. A rubber gasket for the cover and some foam rubber tube will seal everything up from water and vapors.
