Alright! Nice, I bet you'll see more orders once the first one is made.

I would love to see pictures of one on a base Vette with the OEM back-up lights installed (not blacked-out lights). I'm very tempted.

Keep an eye out. Initially they will be made without reverse lights. Then we can run another GB for basically the same diffuser, but with a opening for the reverse lights.

Isn't there a 50 dollar commitment deposit?

Can You give us an update on how many have been ordered?

If we hit the magic 10+ and the backup light holes are in , I would be in.
Heck if you could get the 6-9 I would even think real hard.

Come one Guys order up, so we all can get a good deal

We are building off an OEM diffuser, so I don't see any issues with your rear fenders or a borla exhaust. We will make sure the fit is just like OEM and make sure it's worth every penny. I know there are cheaper diffusers out there, but no way they are the quality that these will be. I've already heard of fitment issues with some of these other cheaper ones. Plus they are made in Mexico, ours are made right here in the USA!!

4 have been ordered so far. However one customer that ordered 3 does not want reverse lights, so these first ones will be made with no reverse lights. G3 can then revise the mold to add the reverse lights (should be a simple mod)

Trust me I definitely agree As soon as these are built and installed we'll post some pix. Then I'll get pix when we make the one with the reverse lights.

Sorry I apologize for not posting back up. I read your post and was going to reply and got side tracked. Im not familiar with the akrapovic exhaust so it's hard to say. Best bet will be to wait until they are produced (which should be very soon) and maybe we can take some measurements to determine if it will work.

Last I spoke to G3, they were dropping the OEM diffuser off to get a mold made. It is a pretty flimsy piece, so it needed to be strengthened to guarantee an OEM fit. This should progress pretty quickly from this point forward.

I hope they will have enough common sense to start the while the OEM is mounted on the car, otherwise, it will never fit... If this is done in FG or CF, it has to fit perfectly. I have seen the pics of BP version and it did not fit too well against the bumper, it looked very uneven... Good luck
