You're overestimating the appearance of CF vinyl - when viewed side-by-side with real CF, there is no comparison. A couple piece of wood wrapped in vinyl is not going to look as good as the Euroteck diffuser.

Looks like it should work with any rear lip as it replaces the panel that's untouched.

Our cars doesn't need diffusers, it's kinda too much for the car IMO.

What your asking for with pics showing an F430 is not even a real comparison. If you wanted something to wrap up to the bumper, we would need to replace the rear bumper too with a new design or style. IMO, that would get very expensive, and I already know the market for that would be slim to none. It would be a nice 1 off project, but a regular production part to sell? never.....

Can you do it with urethane or other non cf material?

We only work with carbon fiber. We do not even have the capability to use anything else.

I've considered getting one to complement my Seibon rear, but I'm afraid that the lip would hide most of the diffuser.

And for a CF piece of this size & design, I find the price to be reasonable.

I too agree with this guy, I would definitly take off just about any rear lip in place of this cause it might hide the defuser all together...

. If this thing was cheaper I'd definitely get this cause I can't see myself spending 300+ on a piece of plastic (lip).

But could possibly see myself spending this amount for the rear CF defuser.... or CF HOOD HEHE

Shucks...too bad. I was looking for something that wraps up to the bumper.

If you do make though, I will be first in line!
