Side extensions to match M Performance diffuser?

Hey guys, I have a CS front lip and side skirts on my car, I'd like to finish the look by having a full rear diffuser. I was wondering if there's anything aftermarket that matches my OEM one or would I be better off replacing it with something else?

TIA

Status Gruppe is close but not exactly match.

Thanks but $600 for 2 little pieces is absurd IMO.

You won't find anything for less if you looking for a good fitment.

I know I know, I just wish that there were more options.

I have the Status Gruppe extensions and they are high quality, easy to install, and line up well with the OEM CF diffuser. But they are also extremely thin and subtle. They don't really add any vertical depth, but they can be fitted to add what looks like a little "underlining" that matches with my CF side skirts really well. But the OEM side skirts aren't CF.

They work well for me because I got them used off the forums and I don't have aggressive side skirts like PSM so they flow naturally... but if I were to do it over I'd just buy an aftermarket 1-piece.

Dinmann also makes a similar extension that is a little more aggressive, but even more expensive ($750).

Personally reckon switching to the agency power aeroform 3 fin and selling the oem would be the cleanest, most cost effective option. Have seen it on sale for less than 1100 at x-ph. The dinmann ones only flow if you have their matching side skirts specifically imo

Here's a pic with the status gruppe extensions. I also have MP diffuser, spoiler, and mirror caps with eBay CF side skirts and rear caps.

The XPH side skirts are close and budget-friendly
