If you are worried about drag then look no further than the gap between the rear bumper and fuel tank/back box area.

Sort that and it will probably make about ten times the difference than some wing mirrors

I'm interested in the rear diffuser, I'm even thinking of learning how to use fibreglass and canon properly with a view to making my own little diffuser project.
