Aside from pricing, we've been waiting more than a year to see what they will look like...

I'm not sure if it's the web coding on their site, but I have the same issue.

Following with interest. For sure needs to be FULLY functional! Not a "waxer" stick on. Fully functional works on street AND track. Stick on

Thanks again for your input! Our plan is to offer a rear diffuser that doesn't require you to replace or heavily modify the OEM rear fascia.
We'll make sure to post updates as soon as they are available!

Looks really nice as a dress up piece.

Don't know about its viability as a diffuser with benefit on the racetrack from this rendering.
.
How far forward does it go?
Angle from level coming back from forward attachment point?


Any guess on timeframe for production?

I think for people with more extreme body modifications, the diffuser would not look out of place, but it’s a little too “in your face” for a bone stock Vette, in my opinion. That said, I kinda like it.

My god in heaven. I am ABSOLUTELY in love. If it can look that good and be functional consider me sold. Just got your zr1 spoiler in the mail today and it has me in love with your company already.

I just hope this is a suggestion of the look and shape. The pieces that curve under look a little too low and all the edges look way too thick, like everything was constructed of 1" thick foam board. Trimming all those dimensions and extending the bottom underneath the car like up to the axles at least, and you are on the right track. The idea is looking good.

And not to stray off topic from the OP: the design proposed is a bit busy and "thick" for my taste, but with a few tweaks in the name of true functionality, I think it would lean in the right direction.

Don't care for this one, looks like the other one available by another supplier. Looks too bulky and tacked on.

I was going to use these exact words. It's too thick-looking.

Does it extend under the car at all? Can you post a render of the part itself, uninstalled?
