Got my carbon fiber rear differ installed today
IMHO the rear end looks so much better with the fins coming down from the rear bumper. GM always should have sold it this way. Only problem is now with so much other Carbon Fiber the Carbon Flash spoiler looks out of place haha

How difficult was installation? Did you do it yourself?
Have you noticed any change in handling or driving? I know it wouldn't be crazy or anything, but did you feel it at all in the seat?

No you can't tell any difference on the roads. Diffusers are only going to make a difference at the track, I got it for looks.

I installed a similar CF one on mine a couple years ago. Rear bumper cover has to come off.
Unless you’re way north of 100 mph it has no effect on handling. I agree with efarley that it does look better.

Thanks. Rdpstore.com told me Anderson composites has a 17 day lead time. I guess it's longer. The diffuser looks great. Looks like it's worth the wait.

It's absolutely worth the wait. It's a gorgeous piece, very high quality. Idk where you live but if you're like me living in the north your car should be garaged this time of year anyway which would make the wait pretty painless. Unless you live in florida

Looks good. I agree, the C7 should have come from the factory with the diffuser.
I like my one piece aluminum diffuser...matches my rear window shade and does not require any additional holes... uses OEM attachment points.
