Also I am taking off the tacky f@ckin spoiler and getting a genuine black Mercedes spoiler, like I should have done in the first place!

Thanks to all people who replied and supported the thread!

Stuff these days is pumped out too quickly and not well made or engineered very well. No one has any patience these days in the "I want it now" mentality the modern consumer has. People want it now, don't want to wait so all this garbage gets pumped out of China to fill the demand. It all ends up in the land fill sooner or later.

2008 MB C350 4MATIC/2011 CL63 AMG/2014 C63 Coupe 507
JL Motoring's C63 Sideskirt on my new 507 makes it look like SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII**************. I sent them million emails and DM's on Instagram, gmail, etc, and I get replies after maybe messaging them several times in a row. They told me they'd ship me a new piece and I'd have to pay shipping, and also ship the old piece back. When I made my decision after a while, they don't get back to me, as usual. Yet they keep posting on their social media for new products. Bravo, JL.

One side fit perfectly, the other side is AWEFUL. I have their 2 diffusers (one for c350 and c63 507 coupe which fit quite well, along with the carbon c63 intake). Their customer service sucks, and truly disappointed after supporting them for few products.

Can't wait to be home and take pictures of this aweful BS fitment, and may start a thread on how JL Motoring is disappointing, never to choose them for carbon fibre anymore. I've been trying since end of last year to get a free replacement. Very disappointed.

this is the reason you buy an OEM part and just wrap it in carbon fibre.

when i was getting mine i was told numerous times stay away from cheep CF diffusers,because even the ones that cost 1000$ are a ***** to put on lol

Ughhhh, Do Not Wrap with vinyl Carbon Fiber Fake junk: That is the worse thing you could do to your MB. Carbon wrap in my opinion is the cheesiest thing you could put on your car. I would rather see some junk carbon attempt than a carbon sticker on a car. I have tons of carbon on my vehicle and it can be done very nicely if you take your time with product selection and patience with installation. I have carbon fiber hood, trunk, spoiler, diffuser, review mirrors, start/stop button all is quality carbon fiber twill weave. Yea carbon is not perfect but once your start modifying a vehicle it's never going to be perfect. . Anyway, my 2 cents for what it's worth.

On a purely opinion based basis, I do agree about not using wrap for carbon fibre, but I can 100% see why people do it, and do think it can look nice, but I'm just not so much about cosmetic mods, I need some performance, even if it is neglidgable AKA you would never notice, even with a dyno or accurate time trials.
