Ideas for Aggressive Rear Diffuser

I'm considering adding a more aggressive rear diffuser. I am not a Carbon Fiber fan so would want it painted carbon flash to match the rest of the trim.

I have seen the IT diffuser, but would like to see some other diffuser options. I'm interested in one with a few more fins at the bottom. Any pics would be appreciated. Thanks!

There are a number of previous threads posted that deal with this very issue. Numerous vendors that have a variety of styles/designs. Most will offer carbon fiber, carbon flash or some even provide unpainted pieces to custom paint. I personally, really like the subtle contrast of Carbonfiber against my black and went with Weapon X'a diffuser.

These were actually cheap and could be painted. There on my car to dump out air that accumulates underneath at 140 plus. For looks I could care less.

These are the ACS fins, pre-painted in carbon flash.

I have long wanted a better looking rear splitter. I thought the better one would come on the ZR1 and then I could swap but now not so sure.

The aftermarket ones look....well... aftermarket. Either too aggressive or too carbon fibery or whatever.

Best,
Gene

edit...the above ones are the best I've seen thus far.

ACS DF for now, until the Ivanti knock off comes out in Carbon Flash.

The Katech fins on stock diffuser are pretty nice, seen a few with this setup.

I've got the WeaponX rear diffuser in Carbon Fiber. It fits either the Stingray or the ZO6.

This is by far the best one Ive seen. Its a mix between the aggressive Ivan Tampi one and the standard generic ones you see everywhere. APR just announced it.. Comes out next month. Im gonna probably bite the bullet on it.
