American Authority rear diffuser

Does anyone have pictures of this installed? If you have their ZL1 style side skirts AND their rear diffuser installed PLEASE post pics. I want to see how it looks all together and if the heights on both match up.

Thank you!!

The only diffuser they have available for the 6th gen Camaro. It looks pretty similar to the gm body kit diffuser except AAs doesn’t go underneath the exhaust tips

The rear diffuser will match up in height (from ground) to the side skirts. It is pretty much the only difference between the OEM and the American Authority diffuser. I will have to locate a few customer rides who have it installed and post them here for you.

FYI for clarity, American Authority only has the OEM style diffuser available at this time which allows non quad exhaust owners to go quad without cutting their OEM diffusers. The C7 style that made its debut at SEMA2017 will be available to those who are interested soon.

This Camaro is owned by Tony Moffre aka @leadfed_camaro. If you follow the upper edge of the skirts all the way back, it lines up nicely with the black portion of the American Authority rear bumper valance/diffuser.

Thank you!!! Can’t decide if this is aggressive enough or not.

If you stay tuned, there will be "options" available for this bumper very soon that will increase the aggressive look. Will probably be exactly what your looking for.

Those skirts look like they follow a nicer line than the C7 carbon ones that are a little lower. Well shit.

I like that the American Authority ZL1 style side skirts are higher than the alternatives, but if you follow the upper edge of the skirts it is not straight. The upper edge dips noticeably near the back of the door (on the white Camaro) and then goes back up - that would drive me crazy on my car. Is that per design or a molding defect?

There could be various situations that caused this including installation. I can't really comment on his, however I can post pictures and comment about mine. Although markedly less than Tony's Camaro, there is a bit of a dip on mine as well, although it is almost imperceptible. I didn't notice this until reading your comment and going out to take these pics.

I am sure if you have further questions, the guys at AA can answer them better than I.

It's certainly not noticeable on your car, so it's not designed to dip like that, thank goodness. I may well order a pair in gloss black.
