AND it needs to be body color so as to not look like a chunk of plastic "tacked on" Were $ no object, I'd be all over this. Looks cool, functions. What more can one ask for??

I was on the list for this before it went into production and I just cant spend 1k for a plastic piece that weighs less than 10lbs. If it wa carbon fibre then, maybe. Sorry BPP and good luck.

I'm feeling funny tonight, so I'll say this. It looks like the pants is falling off my girls butt showing the crack of the rear.... I'll stick to stock... But thanks for giving options, I'm sure someone out there loves that look.

Sorry to say, but it looks like a 10 minute bolt on part. It reminds me of the fender flares of the 70's.

It might improve aerodynamics, but I feel it cheapens the car.

I agree that it really does not look good as it is. However, if you could clean it up by making it flush with the rest of the bumper rather than mounted on top, then it might look decent. You'll probably run into exhaust clearance issues though

Default Looks better than my sorry A$$ attempt

This is a much cleaner looking one than I tried to make (see "My Corvette photos <== on the left). Any chance we can get some pictures from under neath the car. I would like to see how it compares to my half a$$ attempt at improving airflow.
Is this made of CF or Fiberglass?
