Got to say it is In my opinion the nicest full panel rear diffuser at an insane price.. I wanted Ivan Tampi's super aggressive diffuser but also wanted the full back carbon fiber which would require a carbon fiber OEM style rear bumper + Diffuser = like $3400. This was half the price, not as aggressive but still BADASS! Just ordered a GM Carbon fiber stage 3 spoiler for it as well to go with my entire stage 3 carbon fiber ground effects/Gm carbon hood/Roof! Anyone going to SuperCar Sunday Corvette Day in Los Angeles on the 22nd?

Looks pretty good! I've come so close to ordering many thousands of dollars of APR parts recently but at the end of the day keep telling myself minor change isn't worth the expense. I definitely like their stuff though!

Hmaringer

Honestly the original owner I bought the car from had a 3" scratch on the OEM rear bumper from his garage door.. It bothered me so I figured rather upgrade than just get it repainted. Also replacing it was a job I could do myself instead of giving a bodyshop my car, Ive had bad experiences with body shops.

Great looking C7Z !!

Do they have that in black or carbon flash for far cheaper by chance?

fleming23

APR is only carbon fiber.

Hmaringer

I feel ya.. I ended up getting a stage 3 carbon fiber spoiler to match because I wanted them to be the same.. More $$

Are the fins CF? Can't tell if it's just too dark to see the weave..
Also, is the diffuser/fins all one-piece construction?

I'm afraid you might have just cost me a lot of money.

Hmaringer

The ENTIRE piece is one pre-preg piece of carbon fiber. Pretty nuts for the price! Here’s some pics from when I first opened it up!

Hirohawa

Damn fine looking diffuser.

Connman

ok, yeah. Must have.
... where'd you get it?

Also, where'd you get the blacked out reflectors?

Hmaringer

It was nicer than I expected when I opened it up!

Apr diffuser V2 I got from this seller, he cut me a deal because I’m local and he didn’t have to pay shipping/ebay fees. He even dropped it off to my place from an hour away for free! : https://m.ebay.com/itm/APR-Performan...%257Ciid%253A1

Blackout reflectors I got the oem replacements from RPI. Not a fan of all the vinyl overlay stuff and these things are really well done! https://www.rpidesigns.com/shop/item...s-2-piece-kit/

My only warning is install is difficult since it’s one piece carbon fiber there is ZERO give so you really have to work it to make it fit. My hardest part was getting the side vents to fit right back in. The manual apr sent is for a stingray not z06. And they are instructed to just 3m them back in. So that’s what I did, took 1/4” 3m on the side touching the bumper and just pushed them in to fit. They stick out more than with the oem but its not noticeable if you didn’t know

Connman

Is he really in Baldwin Park? That's only an hour from me.
Checked out the reflectors - do they make replacements for all reflectors? I only saw the rears.

Hmaringer

awesomeness! Send him an email and tell him I sent you! 2belement@gmail.com

I have my entire car wrapped so I just had them wrap over the other reflectors.. unfortunately rpi doesn’t do the others to my knowledge.. they should because these rear ones are really nice!

Are you going to corvette day super car Sunday this weekend? Www.supercarsunday.com

Ill be there

Connman

Nice! I'll email him.
Probably not, With weekend traffic, Woodland Hills is probably 3+ hrs each way.
Thank you for all the info!

Connman

Bummer...emailed him - although the eBay listing says 3 available, he says they are out of stock till hopefully mid-November.

Hmaringer

Yeah they only had 6 available with this first batch!

Steve Garrett

I like it....can't go wrong with Carbon Fiber.
