It is not exactly a bolt-on part. You need to (successfully) address everything underneath, all the way to the front splitter. Good luck.

Start with the rule book on your series. The general theory of diffuser L/D properties is one thing but the final design is application specific.

Hot and cold air management, long wheel base, ride height and pitch control, rear wing augmentation, engine and drive train cooling, etc., are C5 and C6 Corvette factors to consider.

Many engineering discilines are employed from bumper to bumper and aerodynamics in the ground effect region is particulary complicated.

Thanks .. Really thought for how long the Z06 been around there would have been a kit for it! My factory one is toast so I thought I would try to find one
