I’m in for an updated rendering as well. If it looks good, add me to the list.

If we can start getting a list going with 10 people interested in this design we can transfer this over and get the project rolling.

Thanks again for everyone's support while we try to dial in this project.
Put me down for one. I like the last rendering looking forward to seeing the newest one.

I’m interested as well. So long as it looks more like the rendering in pics 7 and 8, that is. Not a fan of the curves on 6.

If the full length diffuser is not a viable option because of the mufflers, then I think the center section only like the one on the black car, would look great as well. There is a member who had a similar one custom made. See the C5 Z06 Below.

Something similar to the Caravaggio diffuser would look good too.
Just give me the center piece on that blue C5

Hey guys, we deeply apologize about the delays with this project. We had some new people join us in our design department and also we had our prototype large format 3D printer upgraded so it set us back being able to tackle this project until recently. We wanted to share with you our new renders for the C5 diffuser. We believe this design combines the best of function and aesthetics. We have the initial design finished and all that is missing is the attachment plate from the diffuser to the sub frame of the car. This new design is in our print que to be printed off by next week so hopefully late next week or the following we can share some pictures of the plastic prototype diffuser on our shop c5!


Thank you again for everyone's feedback and input. We appreciate it very much!

Enjoy!

Going in the right direction. Can't wait to see the prototype. Hopfully the fins are thinner than the rendering shows, they still look a bit too thick for me at the moment.

Keep it up though, If the quality is like my other products from your company itvwill be worth the wait. Now if we could get a functional C5R style front splitter we'd have a complete set.

Looking prettier -- and still NOT anything like a race diffuser.

Simply look at the C5R diffuser.

Fins need to be rounded more to match the smooth lines of the C5

Thanks again for all the feedback guys! We are going to round out the fins a little bit more so they flow in better with the lines of the C5. Here is a rough picture of the plastic prototype that we printed off last week.

More updates coming soon!

I like the basic shape. Definitely round off the slats more and I would thin them out some. They look HUGE, and I don't think that's the look most people want because that's not what functional diffusers have. I would also like to see the outside slats in more of a vertical position. They look like they point outward a good bit in that picture
