Anyone make a rear diffuser for a C5?
I like a few hundred others have painted/plasti-dipped the rear facia to mimic the rear diffuser of the C6's. However I think a real molded application would be so much better, and could easily be applied with 3M VHB TAPE.
Anyone know of a company selling them?

I've seen some aftermarket diffusers that have slots built around the exhaust and I've also seen the black textures plastic overlay that simply sticks on the lower rear fascia but does diffuse any airflow.
As for the black lower rear fascias, C5 owners were performing that mod before the C6 made its debut.

Not quite what I wanted it looks exactly like the stock look I did for $4.99 with satin black krylon spray can.
I was thinking maybe someone would offer one with the diffuser small vertical wings like the C5R's or something styled like it.
It was just a thought.........

My dream bumper would be the Specterwerkes C5 with the BPP C6 diffuser attached to it.

I want to get one made soon. I already spoke to G3 composites about building this for me. We have a couple other things going on that need to get done first but a diffuser is on the list.
