Those are Euroteck parts.

And here's the quad diffuser for any thinking of going with a quad exhaust setup.

No, those are stock images from Euroteck, but I'll be getting that same quad diffuser soon.

Neil told me the first batch of CF diffusers (dual) should be in by weekend and they will ship ASAP to the people who paid.

Don't worry, you'll eventually hit a rock that will crack that diffuser so you can just paint it and then you'll have your non CF look. Diffuser. But for now, sit on the CF. It'll look sick.

I know, but I just don't see the performance add doing much for either, less so the C300. Here in the US, I know none of this would impact my driving as it might abroad.

The lip and diffuser are cosmetic adds and not performance. Nothing wrong with adding these to any model. Heck, nothing wrong with adding performance mods to the base 300 model as well. I'm sure there are more than a few who would like the manual transmission of a c300 paired with the power of the C350.

The C63 rear diffuser doesn't do anything to enhance its performance any more than the aforementioned would do to the C300/350. It just looks nice without going over the top.

When did hp ratings like those of the the C 300/350 start to suck? They both have plenty of power. Most cars on the road don't have high hp. And ones that do can't be used practically. I don't care about stoplight to stoplight speed anymore. You get into too much trouble. I know. I like cars that handle well in the twisties and have highway speed stability. That is a lot more fun to me.
