I have the template cut and ready to go......... but I cant install them on my car with my steep driveway...

Need to make so it can be removable easily....i.e be able to put in on at the track and take it off for street driving.

I've made couple of those carboard templets myself before, but never went all the way with it just because of availability of light weight of materials and cost. You would think it would be about 20-50$ to make it, but alumalite is 120$ a sheet is pretty pricey knowing its going to be torn up pretty fast jmo.

The rocket bunny supra has one of those nascar looking wings on it it looks pretty awesome!! I don't know how good it would look on the sc though.
I stole this pic from sf

Install threaded inserts into your mounting bracket, so you can screw the bolts directly into the inserts from under the car. You just have to hope that the bolt head doesn't get grinded down while driving.

That will be a little bit more difficult....might just try a supra or rx7 one and make it work

This is what I always had in mind as far as a diffuser. Offer a center section and the add-on sides.
