Default Went to order Rear Diffusers for the SRT...

So I went to the dealer today to purchase the Rear Diffusers for my car.

I was told that it could be days, weeks, or months before they would come in because Chrysler's Employees are currently on strike. The parts departments are all showing '0' for parts availability, and the trucks are not delivering...

BUMMER!

Do these parts come from Germany as most of the other parts? It shouldn't matter with the strike because isn't most of that at actual assembly plants. I would call the benz dealership and see if they could help.

This part is chrysler specific, not Benz. It is a body accessory.

And, yes, the strike is over...good deal!

Have it in CF finish and you'll love it more! Check it out with SRT SIX...I just mailed him my Mustang Autometer gauge pod to match my blue CF dash and interior!

I got mine from MOPAR and delivered to the UK in about 5 days. I didn't get them painted and they were easy to fit. Really like the look too and glad I left them in black. My SRT is in SSB so being so light a colour they show quite nicely.

Since when are they called Diffusers? I have had them on my car for over a year now! That are Fascia Accent Panels! I painted them Hammered silver. The cost $175 to $200 I think they ad to the car!

Seems that most people on here call them diffusers - and Chrysler calls them Fascia accent panels.

Since when? My Dad works for Chrysler and he has to go on strike, which really sucks. I don't think it's over, nor will it be over for a long time.

I agree, they are a nice look on the car. Are they made just to look nice or do they serve another purpose as well?

They may help with something at high speeds, but I doubt it.

Mainly for looks - it helps to fill up some of the empty space below the back bumper...

These will be my first purchase for my car. These in fact are very important for the car and work in conjunction with the rear spoiler. They assist in bringing the *** end down during high speeds. In addition, assist in higher top end speed and better high speed handling.

This is per, the head MB Engineers who worked on the crossfire team. This is why Startech adds them, but they also added a piece to them as well as two more retractable wings that work conjunction with the current wing and a new front lip with a wind diffuser to allow for them to obtain optimum drag co efficiency and handling.

I posted an in depth article that talks about this with the MB guys. The article stated the car's top speed was limited due to these inefficiencies and this was their solution.

I want to get a set before you can't anymore...

Got 'em in and installed them during a break at work. I like the look!

See my other thread for more details on install, etc.

After:


They should've been included stock on these cars, especially the SRT.

Cool Re: Went to order Rear Diffusers for the SRT...

ShawnQ, thanks for posting pictures. I'm ordering some, now that I've seen how they look on the graphite SRT6.

Cyril,

Yours look great - I love the contrast on the Aero Blue.

I'm saving up to have some pieces coated in the future. I'm debating on what color to use. The black CF would probably blend really well with the Graphite. However, the contrast that silver CF would give MAY be more appealing. Silver or black CF?? That is the question!

In the meantime, I'll leave them on un-coated as I like the look as-is. I don't know if the dark CF will be visible enough on my color to warrant the cost.

DEFINITELY looks good on the blue though!

Thanks! Yeah, I'm glad it looks great in my Aero Blue and I'm glad that my Mustang CF plate panel did not sell in eBay because I was able to use it in my SRT-6!
