Not sure on the exclusive - I'm working with Burgy on this one, so bug him to bring them in for me to copy, and I'll do what I can from my side 
I won't be doing plastic - moulding costs are just too high, but I can do one in GRP (kinda like fibreglass but nowhere near as flimsy) which you can paint or vinyl...

Performance spoiler - you're referring to the Performance spoilers from BMW - Type 1 and Type 2? Will probably look to doing those as well. Right now there's just too much mold work going on. I have 3 molds in progress for different versions of the "diffuser" piece that this thread was originally started for, and now the one for the M3 replica spoiler. But hey, the sky is the limit - I want to quit my day job and just do stuff like this for a living, so trust me, I'm not going to give up anytime soon, and the wider my portfolio of parts, the better
But yeah - keep the ideas coming and I'll get on them as quickly as I can!

So I was around the molders this morning and this is what we have so far. The patterns for the Quad cut-out and the single cut-out with fins are ready. We need to clean up the fins slightly, just to make sure they're all 100% the same and that they are clean and sit flush with the top of the diffuser etc.
So, they're going to start on the molds for these two now and as soon as the molds are done for both of them we can make the quad cut-out with fins version. If I were to estimate, all of these will be complete within a month or so and we will be ready to start producing.
Below are some pics. These are the patterns that we'll be using to make the molds. They are a bit rough still, so if you see a few imperfections, don't worry - they will be cleaned up
We are also going to change the top / side cut-line on all of them to make it follow the bumper lines more closely, so even though these look to have the shape of the first ones that I've produced, they will come out with straighter cut lines on the top / side.
Quad cut-out:
Single cut-out with fins:
Let me know what you think...
