Get self tapping screws. Way easier. I have 6/8 on mine along with the tape and I have taken it north of 3 digits with no issues

The back of my splitter is actually two layers if that makes sense. I'll take a picture later and show you. So I will figure out how I want to bolt it up. Self tapping does seem to be like a good option.

I'm not sure what you mean about the splitter. Self taping screws do sound like a good option. The entire process only take about 45 minutes if you have everything in place.

Same. I've taken mine to 130+mph and still holding fine today. ALTHOUGH i'm self doubting the use/need of tape, since with tape + screws there is no "taking it off". But with just screws you have the option.

That's true. I really didn't need the tape because I held it up with two jack stands on each side but it's own there now. Not sure I will get up to 130+ but 90 to 95 want put me in jail.

RW Carbon, JL Motoring, eBay (if you're willing to wait out the ship time). You most likely won't come across one tailored for single tips though, even for the ones made to fit C300/350. I had to put on an axle back exhaust with dual tips to fill the space--looked a little empty, lol.

I forget exactly where I got mine, but dual tips definitely exists. Here are some pics from 2015 when I initially installed them.

That looks really good. If you find out where you got it from, please let me know because I'd like to get the same one.

I used self-tapping screws they worked really well. Have about 4-5 screws in mine with no tape and it has taken some pretty hard hits and is still on there. The tape is useless I tried using it multiple times and the tape just accumulates dust and eventually does nothing. Wouldn't recommend even using it tbh.

White in Black, the ride looks nice. Do u have dual pipes. What type difuser did you purchase. I have single pipes on both side so I'm looking for a diffuser to fit.

Thanks! And no I have a C250 so i had a single pipe, but got a custom exhaust put on so I ran the dual pipes with quad tips I have a big-fin carbon diffuser on mine, but its for the quad tips not the single pipes pictured above. Check out my build thread if you wanna see pics of the one I have

It's an amazing car that get's looks wherever you go. Sounds awesome, drives amazing and it only has 325 HP compared to the C350's 307 I think. World of difference in power delivery. I think the biggest issue I have my me C350 is the transmission. Should be a dual clutch, takes too long to shift.

The stock rear diffuser just pulls off with some gentle nudging. If you get a decent diffuser it should take all of 15 minutes to take the old one off and put the new one off. I bought mine on ebay and let's just say it needed some adjustments to make it fit along with some self tapping screws to make sure it doesn't come off.

CAREFUL! While mostly true, do not forget the OEM diffuser is held on my 2 rivets at each end. If you pull without first drilling out the rivets, you'd pull your bumper off or rip something else.

Excellent catch edgalang. There are in fact two rivets at the very ends near the rear quarter panels.
