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!

Have you checked out these ACS fins... in Carbon Flash:
https://acscomposite.com/collections...ins-2-per-side

Update: sorry, didn't check out your link to the ebay before posting... ebay link not much of a diffuser... no fins.

I have, thank you. That is likely the route I will go unless I can find something different. I wanted to see what else is out there before pulling the trigger. I like the look of the one in the EBAY ad, it looks clean. I'd like to find a slightly less expensive version of that!

Borla Diffuser (powercoated) which mates to the Borla ATAK exhaust.

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?

I did not get the under-tray.

I believe it fits the same. I bought it from a forum member and he had it on his z06

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
