Base the design off the APR, the pictures you show just make the rear look like a C6, not a custom C5. The BPP C6 design is awesome, but really only looks good in 2-tip form, plus it wouldn't really allow for the C5 muffler placement. In addition, many find the looks of the BPP too aggressive, where-as the APR style is sort of a happy medium between race and OEM C6.
What would I buy? A diffuser with fins extended like the APR shown below in real carbon with Z06-style mesh covering the reverse light/muffler vent area. Must fit all aftermarket cat backs and bolt on SOLID for those that track their cars.

Thanks for all the feedback.
The ARP/Breathless styles are aggressive and $1200 to $1500.
We are looking at around $500 for this version ready for Paint or Hydro Carbon. If this version sells then we will offer it in full carbon fiber. To tool up to make a completely one off is going to get expensive however we are not ruling the idea out. We will be doing something for the racers in the near future.

thanks for putting those up
Is there tooling for that one anywhere or is it a one off?

I love the idea of a C5 rear diffuser, but can someone PLEASE make something original? If I wanted a C6, then I would have bought one. Why would I want to add something to my C5 that a gazillion C6s already wear? How about at least using the APR or Breathless C6 rear diffuser instead? At least they look different than the OEM C6 unit.

It is a One OFF by a Florida race team.
I have lots of Diffuser pics, I need to up load to photobucket and post.
Diffusers are almost history now. Race teams are using inverted wings underneath these days

Its funny, I have a friend in England who Goes to the 24 hour of LeMans each year.
I ask him to take pics of Diffusers, and Brakes & brake Rotors during the Scutinering days before the race.
Teams dont mind pics,, but not close up of propitiatory technology, like diffusers
