Anything else like these?
So, I'm not a big fan of the (slightly) lazy lower plastic bit on the rear bumper, and I would really like to improve the look....
I've been thinking of these
Does anyone know of any online stores that have these for sale? $200 seems a bit steep for four pieces of plastic.....
If not, something similar? I really like the diffuser look.

I like the stock diffuser, only thing I don't like is how it isn't painted. I've seen stock diffusers painted gloss black and look a lot nicer, only thing is the exhaust heat might flake the paint off.

This is a diffuser.
It increases negative lift by smoothly decelerating the air under the car as it rejoins the static atmosphere behind, increasing airspeed under the entirety of the flat bottom and thusly increasing negative lift along the entire chassis in accordance with Bernoulli's principle.
This is a "diffuser".
It doesn't do anything.

I'm a pilot....but thanks for the aeronautical lecture.
I don't much care about increasing my down force, I would start with a spoiler anyway. My simple problem is I think the rear bumper is hideous and want to flash it up with something. It's rare for me to want to do a cosmetic mod to the car, but it bothers me. Everything else looks great on her, just not her ***.
Thus why I posted ABOVE about the aesthetics of the car, not the performance.... Note: "improve the look" & "diffusser look"

Have you considered cutting the fake mesh out and replacing it with a piece of real aluminium mesh\grille?
It reduces trunk temperatures, makes the rear look better and reduces the parachute effect all at the same time
