Weapon X, all the way. No holes drilled. Install = unbolt/snap the stock Diffuser and reverse process to install. A couple of hours for me and a friend helping to line up snap tabs and you shouldn't drink beer alone anyway.

Finspeed F5-S Ultra light Spyders. Coated and brushed in "Gronze" (kinda somewhere in between gold and bronze ~ Daniel @ Finspeed coined the term). Stock sizes 20 X 12" and 19 X 10". Made in Missouri. Search "Finspeed Build Thread" in C7 Z06 Discussion, for a really nice peek at how they are made, posted by Daniel. Great guy!

Bought it during their Black Friday Sale. So, I saved a bit from the normal sale price (see link below).

However, if Ben does offer a group buy like he is possibly considering (see his post above), then anyone on the fence should jump all over it and get on the list.

It's real carbon fiber and a beautiful piece. You get what you pay for.

I did weaponx in carbon flash. Matches the rest of the black trim. Less expensive than carbon fiber. Very happy with it.

Looks like their wide body kits are even better option than AcS?

Group buy on this too?

Where did you buy that whicker spoiler add on on your Z51 spoiler?
Very nice! Plus those black out tail lights?

I have the Borla and am very happy with it. Have it painted carbon flash. Blends in from the rear but is more noticeable from the side view. Easy to remove if you decide you don't want it. Really settles my car at 140+ mph when I take the highway
