Default C7Carbon | Race Edition Rear Diffuser | 3D Designed, chime in, lets make it happen!

Hi Everyone!
We are very excited to share with you yet another new project for the C7 Corvette. This time around is the Rear Diffuser Race Edition in Carbon Fiber. Just like our current projects, its starting off with a 3D digital design so we can shape this diffuser just right to what you are looking for. We'd love to hear your thoughts on this Diffuser and make the best one for you, so chime in and let us know your thoughts! any input is greatly appreciated.

Here are a couple of our latest 3D renders for the Race Edition diffuser.





Looking forward in hearing from you!

Suggest you produce this new product in both fiberglass and carbon fiber.

Fiberglass will produce more sales due to the price point between FG and CF. There is a big difference in cost to produce and to the end user/customer.

Complete production of 1 rear diffuser so it may be mounted on a real Corvette C7. Take some professional images for marketing.

I would think most C7 owners will want to see this new product actually mounted on a real C7 rather than a 3D image. It is much more effective in determining an opinion of the end product.

I have C7 side skirts installed on my C7 so I know the end result will be a quality product. The final price point will be a determining factor if they sell or not.

While I like the look, I would really need to see this product installed on a real C7 before making any decisions to purchase the product.

horizontal 1 to 2 inch ledge along the top of fins, adding more definition and angle, similar to the bolt on fins by XK Style

Default I like it, but.....

Reduce the number of fins to two on each side & I'd likely like it more. I think it will be a bit busy with the current design. I'm sure some here will prefer the current 6 fin design, but personally, a 4 fin design better wets my appetite.

just my 22 cents.

Looking at what stock CF diffuser run I think the price would keep me away. Unless the design really enhanced the rear.

WOW ! Awsome!

can you give us some price estimates?

I've used C7 parts and the fit and finish is first rate and they are at least reasonably priced!

Horsefly, you and I think alike in terms of beautiful car options and colors.

I have to agree. I would be in if there are only 2 fins on each side and spaced out a bit. You make it, I'll buy it.

BTW C7 Carbon, where's my Stage 2 CF Z06 spoiler?? Still waiting....

One more vote for the 2 fins. I have your front splitter, side skirts, and rear spoiler currently. I would definitely be a buyer if the price is as competitive as your other products. The diffuser has to look aggressive without appearing "gaudy" and out of place.

And do an initial "group buy" to generate some interest in your new product (and save us repeat customers some money!!!)
