    Those have been repaired numerous times. They're several shades of gray now. :D

    My car itself is five shades of yellow, maybe six. But it's a Challenge car with its obligatory battle scars.

    Next time you have a run off, send me pics of the damaged rear diffuser and Ill let you know if I can repair it. I have molds for the standard rear diffuser and they are much easier to repair if you can slip them back in a mold and patch it up. Helps keep the specs to original as well.

    I found a set of challenge rear diffusers and the brake vents awhile ago from Japan. Paid a good amount for them. Was contemplating producing molds for them in case of loss or damage from mishaps.

    Those Challenge diffusers are gold, Ken.

    Most times the damage is to the hole areas for the fasteners. That type of damage is easily repaired. This is how mine look...

    Same for the front undertrays. It's not uncommon to lose fasteners at the track and have an undertray panel slip down...

    What's up with the NACA ducts on these? What do they cool?
