Yeah... not my taste either, but I couldn't imagine a carbon fibre diffuser being much cheaper if it's true carbon fibre and good quality. If it is, it will sell like hot cakes fo sho!!

I just plasti-dip'd my rear lower facia and said the hell with it. Ha!

I did a search for C5 rear diffuser and this old thread popped up. Has this diffuser been made available for a 2004 Z06?
