They are actually going to modify them in house and told me taking the bumper off makes it easier to fit it snug. It can be done without taking it off but would make it more difficult. I’ll upload the video here in a bit.
Thanks for the update and continued work to make sure they fit correctly! I can't wait to get this on.

Folks, post #2 is the first one I see on this thread which I think would supply me with the details I’m missing here.

I will make a list and edit as we get payments. These will be non refundable. Reason being is once I tell manufacturing it’s a go, they’ll build 10 or 15 for me and if they don’t sell...they are mine. Most of you are familiar with these, as they’ve been out before. We ended up making new molds to improve fitment so nothing else has changed. Anyway guys, PM me to order and get on the list.

Hey my PM's back and forth to you seem to not be working for some reason. I had emailed you a follow up request to take care of some billing. Could you check and let me know?

thanks,

Car's back home, and fully reassembled with the test-fit diffuser:





Sure looks mean! I think it's a great, semi-subtle way to spruce up an otherwise-stock Z06 exterior.

That looks very nice. I'm just glad that Pete has hung in there with this. It's been a long road. He is trying to still produce custom parts for the C5 where most others are moving on to the newer generations.

Are these real carbon fiber, and if so, are there plans to make any in regular fiberglass or other plastic?

It’s real carbon, but it’s not 100%...if we did that guys would definitely complain about pricing.

I was was told they are being made in fiberglass as well. Those may be in stock.

I don’t have the price on fiberglass, we had put carbon on priority so trying to find out if they even made them.
