Z06 Diffuser question....
Who makes an aggressive race inspired design...functional diffuser for the Z06... which actually fits well...I want to paint body color
I understand there have been problems with fit?

That is actually the carbon fiber one, but we can do carbon flash as well

I haven't poked around your site much other than to price the parts.
Do you have online instructions on the diffuser installation? Or do they come with the panel?
But, generally, do you ahve to remove the rear bumper/back surround, or take a bunch of other stuff off, or is this a fairly straight forward, unbolt old diffuser, install new diffuser procedure?
Also, what is your lead time on Z06 carbon flash painted side skirts?
i want them here about the time my car arrives, probably in Sept
Thanks,
Doug

Okay 2 questions:
1. What exactly does the diffuser do for performance? Or is it just for looks?
2. Ben...What does it cost and is it a direct bolt on? Interested in carbon flash...
Thanks

On the red Z06, were the grills on either side of the diffuser left off? Does anyone make these grills, or preferably something with fewer slots to clean that would match the carbon fiber pattern?

It looks like there is more of a gap on passenger side. Or is it just the picture? I'm about to order one but if fitment isn't perfect I'll pass.

Where exactly do you see more of a gap on the passenger side? Looks good to me.

Under tail light. Could be a shadow.

Must have been the sun/shadow. No difference in the gaps.
