2008 C300 Sport 4matic
New style rear diffuser
I spotted this on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

Looks more aggressive than the OEM, but not over the top.
The price includes quad tips.
I would like to keep the center diffuser piece unpainted black like OEM, but I'm not sure how it will look with those two side/corner pieces painted (seems like a top part of the diffuser needs to painted to bridge to blend in with the side pieces).

What do you think?

Not really feeling it, but that's just me. And I think I saw this a few months ago.

Are those real tips or are they just chrome bits attached to the lip? Looks strange.

That doesn't look aggressive at all. Looks tacky.

alright, you convinced me.

Anyways, installation using tape for a part that large makes me question the quality.

If each diffuser-fin was a lot thinner then it would look better. Nah...even so it still would look naff.

Not feelin...plus I'm always wary when they don't show the part actually installed on a vehicle to show fit and alignment
