Default Rear diffuser

Hey guys. Has anyone installed an Abbes Design Diffuser on their C7? I am considering that diffuser, but I would like to get some feedback from anyone with first hand knowledge of the diffuser. Thanks

I'd never heard of those before. It looks interesting, the diffuser looks the best of their products to me. I've never seen a thread about them either, so have no idea about quality or fitment. Kinda pricey and not really my personal style, but it does look unique!

I nabbed some photos from their site. I'll never understand why some manufacturers put such crappy marketing pictures up.

Six kite board fins do the trick.

Don't know anything about this diffuser, but it looks nice. I am actually awaiting delivery of my WeaponX carbon fiber spoiler and diffuser. You might want to take a look at their site for comparison. I have their rocker blades and splitter and love their look and quality. Contact Ben at WeaponX. He is really helpful.[/QUOTE]

Default Diffuser

I am still weighing my options. I looked at the Weapon X and other diffusers too, but most are replacements. in contrast, the Abbeys Design appears to attach under the existing diffuser and can be painted to match the vehicle color, so it appears to enhance the OEM diffuser. Hope I can find some better pictures, especially from under the car. That would probably give me a better idea of fit and finish. Thanks Guys.
