This one is doing absolutly nothing. It would have to be extended atleast to the bumper, preferably a little past and way closer to the ground. The verticles need to be close to the ground. The closer they are the more effective they are.
Unless you have a complete flat bottom about the most you can hope for is to just clean up the air exiting the rear of the car.

i seee.......thanks for the replies on my quesiton......now i gotta ask.......is the downforce really needed from something like that at the speed you're running at? i mean seems like it would only have a legit affect on a serious high speed track car.......again i know nothing about going around corners im just voicing my opinion lol.....btw nuffnuff car looks nice

All those splitters/diffusers/votrex generators/canards etc. etc. are all for high speed stability use. If you have a track car then yes it is needed, running around on the streets then you're just doing it for the looks.
A good example of all that aero functionally at work is when I took my dads Viper to a GPS 182mph, the car was straight as an arrow, no pull in the steering wheel, the car is glued to the road from all that downforce. It felt as if I was only doing 120 to be honest. Doing GPS 165mph in my LS1 and im fighting to keep that wheel straight. Once you've driven a car speed purpose built, you can feel everything working.

Here we go...I just found pics for this diffusor on the fastest standing mile camaro ever. 244 MPH 
This one actually looks decent compared to that first one....looks expensive with all that carbon fiber. OP are you going 200+ MPH or doing this for looks?

well if you are going to build a flat bottom and a diffuser, route your exhaust to make it a blown diffuser! and make it a high volume double diffuser.
looks cool what you're doing. keep experimenting and having fun!

Big red is nasty!
Ground effects can start coming into play at as low as 40 mph. Alot of times it's the small aero changes that help the most. GMHTP did a article in the windtunnel a month or 2 ago that was very interesting.

No, different car but same design, he has his wing Mounted to the hatch instead of the factory spoiler instead, I kinda like it.
I have to add a tow hook in one of the fog light holes, last time I towed my car the flat bed fucked up my bumper from the chains, and im lowered even more now so there will be more damage.

I've seen that one somewhere before. Didn't have that front spoiler though.
Hell, I scraped up the underside of my bumper a while back wenching it onto a trailer, and it was sitting high with no engine. Even a stock height car could benefit from that.
