After choosing and then installing RW Carbon products recently, I figured I'd share my experiences with others who might be interested.

Bottom Line: Matt over at RW Carbon is fantastic to work with, and I'm pretty happy with the quality of the products. Everything was as promised.

I chose RW Carbon over some of the other more known vendors primarily because of their willingness to post prices in the forum (https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...ing-new-2.html), the fact they had the items on hand, and the great communication from Matt.

I purchased the following for $1250 shipped:
Mercedes C63 Black Series Style Carbon Fiber Lip - mercw20410
Mercedes C63 AMG Big Fin Carbon Fiber Diffuser - mercw20409
Mercedes W204 DTM Style Carbon Fiber Trunk Spoiler - mercw20423

Review:

The front lip was easy to install, it simply slides in place and is affixed with 4-6 screws from underneath. Fitment is 9/10, as one side doesn't sit quite flush with the car (pic below). I could have added a screw to make it more flush, but I decided to leave it as is instead of making a screw visible.

The DTM spoiler sticks right over where the old spoiler was, and uses 3M tape. This is a great looking spoiler with no issues whatsoever. 10/10.

The rear diffuser fits nicely into the stock mounting positions via aluminum clips. It's a nice looking piece, but not perfect (although rarely is that true for anything aftermarket). I wish the clips were more heavy duty, the fitment isn't completely flush, and there's a definite loss in rigidity as compared to the OEM. It feels as though there should be a mounting point somewhere in the center, but there's not. Reading on the boards, it seems that, at least for the PF-C63s, there was a center bracket connected to the OEM diffuser. For whatever reason, that's not true, or at least on mine, for the 2012+. Overall, 8/10.

Here are the pics!

If only I saw this post sooner.

I dealt with Sonic Tuning...purchased the front lip and spoiler from them and they were the worst products I ever purchased from a vendor.

I'm now waiting to receive my lip and spoiler from RWCarbon. I'll be using the box I receive from them to ship back the other horrifying lip to Sonic Tuning. I've already sent back the spoiler. I was going to create a thread review on their products, but I'm waiting patiently for my refund first.

Car looks great! Love the hood where did you get it from? And how much?

It's a 507... OEM hood.

You can get one from ecstuning.com

Looking Good! Strange about the diffuser brackets though. My car is the same as yours except for a coupe version and it definitely has two brackets on either side near the exhaust openings to help rigidity in the centre.

That hood from ECS Tuning is damn near $3k. Thats nuts!

Kinda bummed to see that fitment on the front lip, I love how rwcarbon is open with pricing. But that fitment would definitely not be ok with me. Beautiful car though, that hood makes such a huge difference!

aftermarket CF parts aren't always going to be oem fit and flush, looks pretty good to me.

I had my lip installed at a body shop and it looks perfect to me, but its also screwed onto the bumper and has a layer of tape on top of the lip to ensure tight secure fit.

I'll post up pics eventually of the lip I received from Sonic Tuning. If you guys flip out over RW's lip, you would go ape **** over the one I received.

Using both double sided tape and screws will get it pretty close.
