Default Thoughts on these diffuser fins?

Rear diffuser fins


I'm probably just looking to waste some money but what is everyone's thoughts on these? Anyone have them and can attest to their quality?

I have seen them in public and they look good. Doesn’t matter what others think. It’s your car do what you want.

I think I would have to see the diffuser fins installed before I could come up with a yes/no.

everyone has a right to enjoy their car as they choose, but with t he C8 I have seen so much overpriced pieces of plastic being added to these poor cars and I just dont get it, its a 70-110,000$ car (stingray) why junk it up with some plastic BS, spend the money on good stuff!

I never vote on polls like this; but, I say, outfit your car to your liking. Please don't change your mind because of the Mod Police here.

You changed your mind based on the fashion police here??? I see your new here. Rule #1 - never ask for opinions on mods... you'll always get a negative response. They do not look tacky, they are not junk pieces of plastic and it's your car - you decide.

I agree with that statement those fins are nice looking in my opinion and it matches the carbon flash defuser, it’s funny that some will say than those are cheap stuff when they are same material as some from other companies that charge you 3 times more I bet if they charged that then people here will like it more, but hey if the OP now doesn’t like it because some people say they don’t like it then I’m good with it lol

Yes, worth every penny. Diffuser fins and matching mustache fins to complete the exotic look.

Didnt change my mind. Was debating them and just trying to figure out something to get for the car. I'm not sure if I like them or not to be honest.

With respect to exterior mods the after market just doesn't cut it. Going for the wild side would merit the real thing.
