Default ?rear diffuser for C5

does anyone know of a rear diffuser that is being sold for C5s?
must have the following:
still in production from a reputable company
not so big to stick out like some ugly cancerous growth
not too small as to be nonfunctional
any info would be helpful

Nothing right now. I am working on one right now. Once I have the proper fit and finish I will send it to a distributor to have molds made to reproduce. I have been wanting one but ran into the same issue along with a lot of other members here. I am investing my own time and money to make this happen. I have contacted a few vendors on this. Can't give a time when this will be done just that I will finish this. I have found a way to mount this to the stock C5 bumper with no drilling as a lot of people wanted. I am starting with a new rpi fiberglass C6 diffuser as a base foundation. The C6 diffuser comes up short on the C5 bumper so had to cut and lengthen it 5". Next step is to make a mold of the lower section of the C5 bumper where the diffuser mounts. This will give me the proper base to work the C6 diffuser to. Finished results will look simular to the ARP diffuser.Here are some pics of starting fit up and some of what I am wanting to achieve.
