Default 997 gt3 rear diffuser

Has anyone fit the after market rear diffuser for a 991 on a 997? Can't find one made for the 997.

Aerodynamically the underside of the car under the engine is a mess. We are in the process of making a rear diffuser which will tie in seamlessly with the aft most triangle undercover allowing for smooth airflow tip to tail. Dimensionally it is designed off the 997GT3R diffuser. Should have a production piece in the next 45-60 days.

Sounds interesting. I've always wanted a tray to protect dirt (too much off-roading) from flying up in to the engine area.

I'll update this thread with pics once we get the prototype fitted on the car. We have it in CAD it's just a matter of getting it in the cue to get made between all the other projects currently going on. The fins will be CNC machined with a profile. Should be pretty slick.
