Default Diffuser Fins

Howdy;

I am interested in a set of four diffuser fins to add to the rear facia of my 2014 Torch Red Z51 7MT Conv.. Performance Corvettes offers them in the 300 buck range but they are
not answering their phone and another set for about half that had one really bad review.

a, Any of you wise Vette people have experience adding these? And what did/do you think?
b. Any good stores you've dealt with who sell them? I've looked around a little but your wisdom would supersede what I've seen

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan,

We sell these all day long, never had one complaint

ACS also make OEM parts so the fit and finish is top notch

ACS PERIOD! it's the only way to fly. You get what you pay for and more with ACS, went on like a charm, looks factory the fit is so perfect. didn't need to remove diffuser either only the 4 screws underneath and I have a Z51 that has a eLSD Module right behind it on the drivers side.

ACS here I have put on 3 diff sets on my car & 2 other cars. These work like a dream I just paid from him to have him paint them on two diff sets & one guy we painted them. Makes the car look much better from the rear.. Robert

ACS only.

Do not get the cheaper ones... They are unpainted.

FYI. I have a used set of ACS fins for sale if anyone is interested.

Correct. But the cheap ones are ALWAYS unpainted and unless you read the fine print you may not know that - thinking you are getting a bargain.

The cheap ones are "flat black" and many uninformed C7 owners many not know that doesn't mean "carbon flash".

The ACS ones are super-expensive but I know they fit. Also I know the ACS ones comes with an installation template. I heard the cheap ones don't. Maybe they do.

I have no experience with the cheap ones other than knowing they aren't painted carbon flash. Another thing that gives me pause is that the picture on the website for the installed fins isn't the same product that they are selling you. The fins are too thin in the photo (or its been photoshopped).

I might have bought the cheap ones but they weren't available at the time I bought the ACS. But I would have had to have them painted first. End the end, would have saved $200 or so.

If anyone has experience with the cheap ones, by all means, chime in.

How much do you want for your fins and are they painted?

Thanks

ASC is the way to go. Perfect carbon flash paint match and they provide a template.

Totally agree with so many others here. ACS is the only way to go.
