That's really a fine rear diffuser! Love the car, but not feeling the rear half-spoiler thing. Seems like the wrong part, being too short and not reaching all the way across. Otherwise I like it.

Looks very good and nice photography skills there too. How about a quick list of mods/parts used. I'm most curious about the carbon halo and the front cover (looks tigershark but haven't seen one with the nose vent before) Not a fan of the rear bumper molded in license plate and 3rd brake light but also want to know how that was done. And boy are those brakes huge, that looks awesome.

Overall, nicely done. Now enjoy.

I like all the mods with the exception of the spoiler. It looks like an after thought. Like you had it laying around and need to get rid of it so stuck it on the car... to small... color makes it stand out... not good. The spoiler is a spoiler. Other than that I admire your work and creativity on the rest of the car.

Very nice car and I like your mods. But I do have to agree that the rear spoiler looks out of place on the car. But if you are happy, that's all that matters anyway.

Looks sharp. Spoiler could be a little bigger.

Looks the ZR1 nose for C5s, cool.

Everything else is awesome though, really like the diffuser, wheels and custom work you did on the front splitter.
