Default Anyone know where to get rear diffuser vents or diffuser w/fins in Carbon Flash?

So... At the very least, I need new diffuser vents as a broke a clip when removing the rear valance. I found them on GM parts direct, and I assume they're unpainted based on the price. Didn't think it would be so difficult to track these things down!

But then I was thinking I might upgrade my entire rear diffuser and get one with fins. But all I can find is carbon fiber, which I don't think would look right with my carbon flash accents.

So, does anyone know where I can find pre-painted carbon flash parts?

Thanks for any help!

May need to get one and have painted? Seems to me a viable option.

Well that's what it's looking like. So many of these bumpers are carbon flash, I just assumed finding one already in carbon flash would be easy. Especially the vents.

ACS has quality diffuser fins prepainted in Carbon Flash. It's an easy installation.

It's not the fins I need... I really wanted the vents, already painted in carbon flash. Doesn't look like that's possible.

But I thought possibly I'd just get a new rear diffuser and replace the whole thing (with fins built in already), but all I can find is carbon fiber, which I don't want to mix and match.

Anyway, I bit the bullet and had the body shop order me some new vents to paint.

Per your original post you stated you wanted a rear diffuser with fins, I provided a way to get the fins :-)
