Lol, wait...didn't you just tell me not to copy stuff in another thread 
We can probably make it look however we like (within reason) However I would prefer if it covered to whole lower valance as compared to the Caravaggio where you can see the outline, I just think it would look cleaner. This is the issue we ran into a while ago though, some wanted for 2 tip and some wanted for 4, don't think we can justify making both. It's a tough call, only way I can see making it work would be if we made it in 2 separate pieces. The main portion being the standard diffuser and then a center piece that is bolted on that would allow 2 or 4 tips. I would have to discuss that with manufacturing.

It wouldn't be really Cost effective or worth making if making space for a tip that isn't widely used ,especially if it lessens some of the other features to "make room" for that. I think we should keep this simple, two tip and four tip with interchangeable center pieces. Other than that it's up to the buyer. You can't please everyone especially to sacrifice looks for an oddball tip (that's if it's any diff.) I think after they're made maybe you can mail the tip,or take it to someone that has the diffuser and fit it that way. Right now we should concentrate on conventional exhaust tips and two tip designs. Anything else will slow production up.

Hey, I pop in now and then. When I can afford a C6Z06 I'll sell the C5, until then it's a keeper. I have an 07 Hayabusa that takes me away from here.

Use the Xtreme rear bumper and a carbon fiber diffuser. That way it would match my Carbon Fiber Vortex Lip and Side Skirts.

I like this idea as well. Also, maybe include a piece of screen that would be big enough to cover the whole thing, and then let each customer cut it out to fit his/her exhaust...then again, you can just go buy that stuff by the sheet at Pep Boys. Just a thought. I already have part of a sheet that I used to make a custom front plate vent.
