Default Mounted Rear Diffusers Today

Just mounted diffusers on the rear today. I know it's not for everyone but I enjoy doing something a little out of the ordinary. It's color and texture blend in perfectly and you have to get fairly close to even see it. Hard to get a good picture. I'm sure it doesn't do a damn thing performance wise but I think it looks pretty cool, makes the car look lower and and faster. Ha!

Not for me, but like you said it is not for everyone. Plus it is your C6, so you can do whatever you want.

First time I've seen this diffuser. Does a forum vendor make it? Now you have to be careful with those parking blocks when backing in.

I think it would be better if it followed the body lines of the car.

What is that thing mounted over your license plate, a backup light????

Sorry, I think they look ridiculous (just being honest) - but it really doesn't matter what I think, it's your car. The install does looks like it was well done. Enjoy your mod.

To each his own. Not my cup of tea, looks like an unnecessary addition that takes away from the lines of the car. JMO

That being said, if you like it, that's all that matters.

Your car is awesome; Arctic White with QX3 is sweet! But I strongly feel that the diffusers cheapen the look of the car bit. Just my opinion.
