Borla's Bolt-on Diffuser...
I know the look of it is hit or miss to many members, but in my opinion it's a better option than having to buy a whole new lower rear fascia.
So what's taking them so long with it?
For a bolt-on part made out of (likely waterjet cut) aluminum, you'd think that would've been the first part on the market within days of them first showing it off, but we're now already into the 2015 model year and it's still not available.

Bolts to Borla rear section. No drilling, screws, body modification. Personalize color like this Bondurant C7. New tips shown.

Good to see I'm not the only one interested in this product.
It was teased at their Sema show before the '14 started rolling off the line and it's just been radio silence about this part since then outside of a few blips.

It's Borla's, they're called "Prism Tips".

Also requires drilling / modifying the lower rear fascia. Neat looking product, but not what I'm looking for.

Don't worry... Just a few more weeks.
Anyone waiting for their exhaust to come out last winter will get that one...
