Looks great,
I am interested in reducing drag under the rear of my car.
Same bumper hanging down issues.
Do you have any before or after testing.

No testing other than road testing. One alum bracket snapped, meaning there was enough force on the diffuser to cause it to break. This is a good sign

I also deleted the t-top well and rear bumper support. With nothing there, your ***-end is a parachute.

Same here, I cut out most of the same stuff as your did. My car is a WS6 TA and the rear bumper hangs down even lower then a Camaro.

I am more interested in reducing the drag then creating down force.

cardboard is the way to go for mock-up! I'd reconsider the "fins".

There have been a handful out there, do a google search. Also on the subject of high speed stability, get rid of your stock shocks ASAP if you haven't already.
