Done by Revorixx. Not inexpensive. Some will really like it.

For $2k you would think it would be a 1 piece replacement.

Very Cool! Might be even cooler if it was body colored except for the diffuser portion at the bottom and the matching accents on the sides.

I have to admit its one of the worst i have seen. Sure it was much eiser to install than my weapon x motorsports, which is the entire diffuser in carbon fiber, with the fins built in.

But mine was worth the effoty in the end.

Clearly, we would want something that adds performance instead of just looks. The first diffuser on the yellow car is unlikely to do much other than add weight. The second one, on the grey car, may have some additional aero quality since this is a similar design to what we see on racecars (i.e. the lower tray extending the length of the car). Now, I have no technical knowledge, so I'll let someone who does opine further. But, if it is something that adds performance (or cooling), then I may be interested.

Just not liking the diffuser. Shaka's example looks better of the two but still nothing I would want on mine.

If you place something on your Vette that is a detriment to the functioning of any of the cars systems, it is a remarkable display of ignorance and tantamount to a Bernie or Hillary bumper sticker to the degree in which it offends the learned few. The four rocket launchers out the back of a Vette since 97 is childish, tuning the 4 cylinder mode not withstanding. Bling for the sake of bling can be a terrible thing.
