I have the C7 Carbon Race Diffuser. Its matches (weave and color) with my front APR splitter. I like that it is similar style to stock, but slightly more aggressive and retains the stock reverse lights.

I have those exact wheels 11GrandSport. They look great on your car as well as the splitter.

Back to topic I am running a factory style carbon rear. Really liking the look of the the C7 Carbon Race Diffuser. I may have to upgrade.

Very nice. Where do you get the C7? It would be nice to keep back up lights for safety checks

Are they still actually called diffusers if they aren't functional and merely for looks? Seems like they should be called the same thing GM does, lower bumper fascia. Most of the "diffusers" on the market are simply to help you win car shows, not races.

Here is a pic of mine with rear diffuser and under tray from C7 Carbon. I do NOT recommend them however as they required a TON of fabrication. First, they didn't fit on the car properly. Second they didn't fit with each OTHER properly. Third, they are so heavy they caused my rear bumper cover to sag so THAT had to be corrected with fabrication. Anyway, at least it looks good now

Just picking on ya for having a c7.

I believe pretty well all rear "diffusers" aka...bumper fancyness that really does nothing...need a little massaging to fit. C6 and C7 alike from pretty well all companies. Just nature of the beast back there.

Technically, it might still be called a diffuser.
It creates a psychosomatic low pressure area underneath the rear of the car, aiding in the evacuation of cash from one's wallet.
But it is kinda pretty...
