Rear Diffuser Options for 997S that surrounds tips

I was interested in getting 997 C2S rear diffuser that surrounds the exhaust tips (like the one on the TT as seen in the photo below). I used this image from a TT for sale on the forum- hope that's ok with the car's owner.

Does anyone know of a rear diffuser for the 997 C2S like this TIA.

^ not sure about the etiquette on using the pic but . . .

I would certainly be interested in a diffuser like that. I'm currently researching rear wings right now. There are a quite a few threads about wings. I haven't searched rear diffusers yet.

i was once at a tire shop, and this guy in a 997S pulled in with a diffuser that looked JUST like the one on the 997TT. So it exists. I just want to know where to get it

Thumbs up

^ I like those CF diffusers. They look great.

But, I would love to have a piece that resembles the 997 Turbo rear bumper. For those out there that do CF work . . . that would probably be a hot selling item

its for a 997.1

Ray- the rottec cf pieces look great, but I'm specifically looking for a rear diffuser that surrounds the exhaust tips from all sides (including the bottom). Refer to the TT photo above to see what I mean, and below is another example of a diffuser that completely surrounds the exhaust tips (notice how the red piece wraps around the tips from all sides including the bottom. Actually in this Ferrari example, the piece surrounding the tips is part of the rear end bumper (not the diffuser). I'm looking for either a diffuser and/or bumper that can achieve this for the 997.1 (C2S). The rottec diffusers dont do this, they leave the bottom of the tips open.

So you're looking for a new rear bumper then not a diffuser.

to clarify-- I'm looking to achieve the look and treatment that surrounds the exhaust tips from all sides, that is seen in these photos (of the TT and the ferrari). the means to arrive at this goal for a C2S can be either a rear bumper, a diffuser, or maybe even both.

the answer may likely be a rear bumper solution. however, i wouldn't rule out a diffuser just because that is possible also. considering how low the tips sit on a C2S, it may be a more involved solution requiring modifying the exhaust itself and a custom bumper.

I'm just unfamiliar with what options may exist to get this done, so any thoughts or knowledge would be appreciated.
