Replacing the plastic rear diffuser with the carbon fiber M Performance part costs around thousand dollars to save a few ounces of weight. That's the very definition of pointless.

Like the interior bits, some people do it for the aesthetics.
Like high heels on a beautiful woman. Ridiculous in practice, but damn if they don't look good!

To each their own I guess. I couldn't justify the CF diffuser as a cosmetic add-on, based solely on price. But I did manage to talk myself into the CF decklid spoiler. But hey, that's functional, right?
