-I'm already in talks about the effectiveness of a real rear diffuser, maybe even an adjustable one. First I need to see if it can be done while keeping the stock exhaust location.

-That's a really good idea! Would looks especially hot on Sapphire Black MRs! Are those hoops the same on non-Ms too?

-Because there's no good weight savings. Our hoods are already aluminum, and at best we'd lose 10lbs going to CF. Non-Ms might save more, if they have steel hoods. But I agree that the looks are what would sell it. They would retail for about $2500 (maybe less, depending on material cost fluctuations), and then would still need paint and mounting. So figure somewhere between $3000 and $3500 for the whole thing to be finished. That's a good chunk of cash.
I was kicking around an idea of making just CF GTR vents that could be mounted to the stock aluminum hood by cutting holes in it (a template would have to be supplied) and then attaching the GTR vents. But I'm not sure if that could be done without it looking clunky. It would certainly cut costs for the whole project considerably!
