Default Photoshop request

I am really happy with the product that GM brought to the table. I am going to start saving my pennies. However, like many, I'm not crazy about the rear end. It certainly isn't a dealbreaker, but it is something I may change. For me, it's not about the taillights. I actually like the taillights. What I'm not crazy about, is the size of the diffuser. It's just a little too big for me. However, I think I've found a way around that.

Can someone photoshop the trapezoid area around the license plate in body color for me? I think that may be the ticket to cleanly reducing the large size of the diffuser. Thanks in advance.

I saw your reply in another thread, took an hour or so before this one popped back up. Hope this is what you're looking for.

Thanks for the effort. Not quite what I was looking for. I was only thinking the small area around the license plate, not the whole diffuser. I prefer to keep a little bit of black in the diffuser.

Side note, perhaps try that with a black spoiler if it's not too much trouble?

I noticed, in the C&D video posted in this thread they show the car in silver. Around the 1:00 mark they show a shot of the rear diffuser painted in silver. Looks nice, alot like my photo.

This looks better. It looks like a dif. instead of just a two tone rear bumper.

I've been wanting to do something like that with a C5. But if someone builds that rear for the C7, it will be THE mod I would do for my C7.

Now add a carbon wrap all the way up to the spoiler and tint the lights it will look wicked
