So whats the address i need to ship mine to?! LOL.. I can see why some will dislike as its quite large and aggressive. I, honestly, like the overdone and/or odd things. I do like clean and OEM but i get bored too easy. Only difference i would do is Hydrodip it in a Carbon fiber style film but only on my vehicle due to everything is dipped/carbon.

Must say that the pictures provided, it does not look homemade. Rounded edges, clean mating, straight cuts.. My hat is off to you sir, i say good job and envy your skills!

That's exactly what I was going to say.

You have to give the OP a great big thunbs-up for the talent he has, in order to make something like that diffuser himself !

BTW ... The cut-out looks nice. Good job

Default Thanks

Happy to see people saying they like and some saying they don't. We feel better when people say nice things about the hard work that we do but good and bad it can help us . I went back and blacked out the reverse lights and paint color on the diffuser. I'll post it when I get it reinstalled.
Thanks Rayzzz My Corvette likes my money
Also below is a picture of the Supervettes rear diffuser

I like it! Your diffuser looks very well done.

But what's the deal with this in all of your replies?

It's not my taste but you did a hell of a job. It looks good. Better than anything I could make.

It's funny when you compare what everyone likes or dislikes. I love those wheels myself but then I have a similar set.

OP. I like the work you have done! Nice looking vette.

imho it's disgusting. It almost hurts looking at it...

The side skirts are even worse... both side skirts and diffuser look like cheap plastic stick on parts bought for a car and look so aftermarket cheasy ricer it's not even funny... The rims I hate even more... don't get me started on those...

the zr1 extended spoiler is the only thing I like, (i have one too) but for some reason it looks odd on a convertible, but the only reason it looks good is because it's somewhat appears oem

sorry for saying all of that, but i'm just trying to be honest. You have skill when it comes to making parts i'm not questioning that, but your skills in regards to body design is kind of ****. Maybe have someone else design one for you, and you build it? lol

i'm not trying to be rude or mean, just trying to be as straightforward as possible, the most honest opinions are the ones that help

Looks okay to me. A little wider than what I would want if I still had my C6.

Default Side fins

I just finished these side fins on my custom side skirts. Made them out ABS plastic. There similar to the ones I've seen on the Ferrari 488 . Sorry but I'm not a fan of the Corvette factory side skirts.
Thanks Rayzzz. My Corvette likes my money

If others prefer stock, I have no problem with that but I have no interest in stock. I prefer modding mine. Your mods tie well together and IMO look good.
