What do ya値l think about this Carbon Fiber Rear Air Diffuser ?
I kind of like it, I think on a Black C6 Z06 it might look real good. I believe its a direct replacement piece made out of carbon fiber, but if it just sticks to the out side plastic like a thick sticker than i don't want it.
What do ya'll think? I'm looking for some opinions before i think about ordering. It costs 599.00 from a supporting vendor.
Thanks.

This is not a direct replacement, it is a real carbon fiber cover though. I got it for my black C6 and the fitment was not too bad. You could only see it around the backup lights that it`s a cover.
I sold my C6 and removed it. I will mount it on my silver Z06 which is due next month. I installed better and more double sided tape so the fitment around the backup lights will be better.

I think the term bling and what it originally meant has become extremely distorted.
That is not bling.
Now, if it were chrome, not only would it be bling, it would be downright ugly.
I don't like it as a cover, although I might consider replacing the whole piece for one that's all CF.

How many people would be interested in buying that if it was real?
I'd just guess like 7 - 8 hundred
if costs a ton to make a mold for the CF. So im not going to do it unless it's worth it....obviously.
also looking at making CF for the rest of the black pieces.

Fake race parts that serve no purpose = Rice
Bling is shiny expensive shiny stuff like Chrome, Gold, and diamonds, An expensive Rolex with diamonds is bling. So is 22" rims that are chromed.
An Armani suit is not bling. Either is Carbon Fiber.
