Default CF race diffuser finally here!

Waited quite awhile past the due date from C7 for the race diffuser but overall I'm happy with the final result. This completed this years vette mods. Well, maybe!

I like what you have done to it. Your car looks great!

What exhaust tips are those? I like the way they are spaced.

Thank you! Thinking about possibly getting the speedometer gauge bezel and pods leather wrapped. I really need to start giving some love to my 2007 Avalanche. She is in need of having her cracked dash fixed or replaced and a performance tune.

How clean was the install and how well do these hold up to road debris?

Looks terrific! I was going to get the same one, but shipping to Hawaii put it over my budget. I eventually just modified my stock diffuser by molding in my own canards using fiberglass, foam and resin filler and had it painted gloss black. I now have three fins on each side. Would have certainly liked the CF look though.

Install was not bad. Took me a little longer bc I did not want to remove the rear wheel liners. After I got one side in, the fit really is OEM. I did have to drill 4 holes for the plastic push pins. Havnt really driven her enough to tell about road debris.
