Mach 5's is $699, again CF, with 2 ridges and no mesh cutout.
I saw a CF model for $1,400 US and don't remember the manufacturer. I'm sure it's a nice piece, but too much for me.
Rieger's ABS-simulated carbon is, IMHO, kinda cheesy, but their gloss black quad tip diffuser looks good and the price is right.
For the CF pieces, I would assume, although I may be totally wrong, you will need to manipulate the bumper to get the CF diffusers to fit.
Laying CF is a lot harder than one would think. I have tried small projects for parts on my race bike and it gave me a new respect for how you would design and lay carbon, and when you're dealing with long curves, how hard it actually is to get it perfect, especially a final product that needs to fit into another piece. The ridges take time so because I prefer the ridges as it looks more like a diffuser looks, I can appreciate a piece with ridges. The bumper needs to come off (I have not done it yet) so just assume you'll need someone to help you manipulate the piece into the bumper.

I may just go for a m performance rpelica quad that I can paint estoril blue and leave center matte. However, this depends on whether the comfort trunk access can be retained. I need to figure out if all quad diffusors eliminate it. I read something about this but that was only on the F80s.
