Carbon fiber rear diffuser advice

Carbon fiber rear diffuser advice
I've been following along for almost a year now, today I signed up.
Have a black on black 2015 F type R with a few mods.
Hope to be adding more mods in the next six months.
Need advice on the best carbon rear diffuser for an R version. Do all need to be drilled to fit the rear sensors? My car is a 2015 blacked out R coupe even the emblems so I want subtle mods to add detail without overkill. Future plans are carbon fiber front splitter, dash, P 7 style grill surround, and the diffuser.
Would really appreciate advice on the rear diffuser options.
Mods
VAP tune
VAP lower pulley
Future mods
Carbon fiber details as listed above
VAP intake
VAP 200 cat exhaust
Lowering springs with spacers
Currently have the P 7 surround and grill

Welocme to the forum! Lurking for a year and no pictures? You will need to make amends and post pictures of that bad boy. Post to the pictures thread. Other members should be along to hopefully answer your questions. Also, if you could add the model, year, etc, info to your signature line it will help in answering questions and responding to your posts.

Grill and surround are in the back bedroom. I'm trying to negotiate having one made out of carbon fiber and this one might be used to make the mold. I'll know in a month and then they would produce them for general sale. Once I have enough posts so I can PM I'm going to try and have the sensor mounts made by the 3D printer talked about in the long thread about the P 7 grill.

Have you searched the forum for the rear valence threads? A number of alternatives to the OEM CF valence have been identified.

And Unhingd, I did search and have read many threads besides the ones listed below. I've just not found a thread with pictures of various diffusers mounted with a source listed or price. .

FR500GT's build thread is long and really informative but I still don' know the source. Maybe I missed it?
Colecat Pictures of anything in the CF set so I have some idea of style. OEM style?

Avoid the Dizzel one. Ignoring the fact that you can buy same part shipped from China for $300, and the individual/company have no after-sales care, it won't fit and you could make a better quality product in your garden with absolutely no prior experience of laying up carbon fibre.

Actually they are the company I'm working with to make a P 7 surround. They have a big custom order they are working on and after that we will negotiate the CF surround. I have a real one I got from Jaguar so they may use it to make the mold. They do not offer a rear diffuser unless I completely missed it. They are here in CA so I told them if they need ANYTHING to move this project forward I would drive down there.

Here's the source for that product:
https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale...08&needQuery=n
What I'm hoping for is feedback from forum members that either have one or have experience/knowledge about one. Like the paramount carbon fiber Project 7 grill and surround, it was of such poor quality it just wasn't workable. I don't want to get one from China that just won't fit. Also no back up light(s) or place to work one in.
