Cool piece. Not a bad price IMO.

What finish does it come in?

Now, if it really is 100% functional and effective for track use, then best of luck selling to the racing crowd, I'm sure a lot of people have been waiting for something like this.

I doubt if any non-racers would touch this with a 10-foot pole.

Thanks for the update!

Just doesnt flow well with the C5 body. Perhaps functionality was more of the focus when this was designed.

Oh Man they Blew it LOL.

That just doesn't work at all with the C5. Damn I was waiting on this piece as well when I had my C5.

That is just WAY to BIG!

I can't believe they FUKED that up!!!! We just want a nice looking non gautty(sp?) non ricer diffuser and a nice front lip that doesn't cost $500 plus. The market is there and they dropped the ball man that is a horrible piece.
