ZL1 addons Rear Diffuser

Looking for feedback on this item specifically for the ZL1 1LE.
Yay or Nay?

Contemplating ordering one for my ZL1 1LE on order.
Thanks in advance!

I'm on the fence also on this. One thing I noticed on the zl1 diffuser that I'm not sure of is the diffuser doesn't cover the entire rear of the vehicle so all of the air exiting the rear isn't channeled. I found another one I'm interested in at aerosportsconcepts that I'm considering.

Thanks for the link! The one part I see missing is the horizontal element between the strakes. This is what works as an "underspoiler" and the strakes channel the air. I don't believe there is enough airflow behind the rear tires for this to be full width, but I'm not an expert.

Kinda like this....most of the air is exiting between the wheels/exhaust.

No problem! Thanks for pointing out the horizontal piece I wasn’t aware of that! Aero is new to me so I’m hesitant to add anything right now because I don’t want to throw off the car or waste $ on something that doesn’t work as advertised.

There isn't a real diffuser offered for these cars if you're looking for a race car level part. For it to function as desired its form would render it not sellable to most users plus unless you are grabbing for every tenth a lap, they aren't really worth it IMHO.
