That is nice but I think post #38 takes it. That one kills.

I was at the OC MD Corvette weekend this past week, hoping to see some different ones and there wasn't a lot of modded cars out there, unfortunately. I saw the V1 of this one, 3 vertical downward fins, but I wasn't a fan of how it attached.

I am thinking the C7 Carbon one with the under tray or the Difflow might be the way to go.

Below is a pic of my C7 Carbon diffuser. This is a PDF of my install with lots of tech info on diffusers: http://netwelding.com/Rear_Diffuser.pdf

The way it was attached to the car didnt look right. You could see gaps from where the seal around the edges wasn't flush. I saw it on 3 different cars. The one that looked good the guy only drove it about 4500 a year he said. The others were driven a good bit more.

They must not have installed correctly.

I have the V2 pictured above and it looks perfect... No gaps etc.

So, just the undertray is $600?

Meh, I wasn't an overall a fan of the stick on look and how much the outer edges protruded for me. As a result I ordered the Katech strakes from Performance Corvettes along with an X pipe. The X pipe got here in two days, just waiting on the strakes now. Fun winter projects ahead!

Fit and finish was and is perfect.

Price was around $1,500. I think I've seen it slightly cheaper since.

Again, not sure what you mean by "stick on look".

That diffuser is a complete 1 piece bumper/diffuser unit in carbon fiber.

There is nothing stuck on about it.

Not sure we are talking about the same thing.
