There is nothing stuck on about it.

Not sure we are talking about the same thing.

APR V2

Ah! Gotcha! Yeah I did see that one, it looks good in person for sure. At a glance I thought is was the 2 piece add ons. My bad!

I wanted to bump this up as I am looking into diffuser options. I looked around, but I didn't find any info. Does the APR V2 come in carbon flash? Any idea of price?

Also, I have seen a few "Stick on" options such as this that I like: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Competition...29cf%7Ciid%3A1

Is anyone aware of any cheaper options for something like this (again, I only want carbon flash)?

Thanks!

I'm not aware of any single-piece options in carbon flash. Just carbon fiber.

The APR v2 for example is only carbon fiber.

Obviously, you could have it painted carbon flash.

I appreciate the info. I wouldn't want to have to pay for carbon fiber then have to paint it.

Hopefully there are some other options for something that can bolt onto the factory diffuser like the Ebay option I posted. I just haven't been able to find any!

YES INDEED it did! Its on par with the APR Version 2, but do they make this diffuser for Z06 models at all, as I see yours is a Stingray?

"JGarland" and "final gear" where did you end up getting your APR diffuser from and do each of you have the under tray included?

The C7 lower-rear panel is the same on all models.

I also wanted to be sure I was able to get the best installation possible. The valance comes off in under 30 minutes. The kit came with templates to ensure proper placement as well as alignment. Overall I'm satisfied with the look and installation process.Total spend was just under $400.

Where did you buy it? I love it
