New Diffuser Option

Hey all,
I’ve been looking for a diffuser for my 6th gen for the longest time as I feel like there aren’t many options on the market. I’m more a fan of replacing the entire diffuser than just adding fins. In my opinion, the Anderson Composite diffusers look the best but I can’t justify the price tag as it would get beat up since I daily drive my 6th gen.

All this to say, I came across this diffuser earlier today : Ikon Diffuser

I think its the best looking full replacement diffuser but not better than the Anderson Composites diffuser. Something seems off about it though but I can’t quite put my finger on it.
I’m curious to know what your thoughts on it are!

Happy Holidays!

I ordered one of those diffusers as well! It should be here January 5th. There is a fin add on that looks really good on this car but its more for the 19-20 bumper. It doesn't line up very well with the 16-18, unless you have the factory ground effect diffuser to add it on, so I agree the Ikon diffuser looks the best. Also, for some rear reflector lights to put in it as well.

that link is way to aggressive for the car. fits a lambo but i dont see it working right with a camaro with out equally aggressive front and sides.

I'm really thinking about putting this one on my car. Not outlandish, more subtle. https://www.vicrez.com/vicrez-vz-sty...evrolet+Camaro

That looks pretty good, how is it installed?
Do you have to remove anything or it just fits over the top? Or bottom in this case!

Looks exactly the same to me as the Ikon Motorsports diffuser at https://*****************/shop/exter...r-16-19-camaro that has been available for years. This other vendor claims it's their own design...

You'll find installation videos at the link above. It's better to take the rear bumper off for installation, or you're risking a broken tabs when removing the OEM diffuser and not being able to install the new one.

*Note: replace the asterisks with next gen speed, no spaces, and a .com. Not sure why their site is blocked, I've had no issues ordering from them.

It seems you are correct good sir! And $56 cheaper to boot.
