theres alot of them out there. just make sure whatever u buy has plastic tabs like OEM, theres a few out there that have metal clips, you will see them in the pics they provide. The ones on ebay from hongkong do this alot. They fit good but you gotta remove ur bumper cover to get them on. depends what style u like, there are a few different ones. I got mine on ebay

so my diffuser came in today and im kinda wishing i had just went with the OEM diffuser. I thought for $30 more I might as well get better material over plastic but im just not digging the CF look. iono maybe it'll grow on me :\

I originall had the C63 OEM diffuser and I didnt like the look of the matte finish so I painted it factory black to match. Liked it much better that way. Then I got tired of the look so I wanted the big fin that I got off ebay and I couldnt find a paintable quad big fin so I went CF. was gonna paint that too but I figured Id put it on and see what I thought. I dont love it, but I dont hate it either. I may paint it later on, but things usually grow on u

So I tried to put on my diffuser today as my tips I bought from w204nyc finally came in. Was planning to fit the diffuser today and go to Speedee Mufflers tomorrow for a X-pipe install and fabricated Y-pipe for the tips. Fitment is garbage. Right side fits in with a little work but left side won't go in no matter what. The second mounting clip from the left was not only too thick but was point downward too far. I eventually gave up when I realized how much of the plastic around the insert slot had chipped away from trying to install. Emailed gary as well as the ebay vendor his friend runs to see what they can do. I'm about to just buy the OEM diffuser...

I will tell u that it took 2 helpers to get my diffuser on, its never really a one man job, even the stock one I had a helper. Ive gone thru 3 diffusers and all needed a little help, the worst being the one I got now, a ebay CF big fin. It has metal tabs u bend, impossible to get on from the outside. Had to pull my bumper cover off to mount it, wasnt too bad for me, but average guy woulda been PISSED. alot of this stuff is like that, needs customizing

welcome to modding, if only all of it was as easy as we expected it to be lol. the rear diffuser is a pain to get on, it took me and my pops to get my MCD on one, just took some messing around with it and force.
