I have the second one and I am taking it off today. Unless you go all out and set up your vehicle with an aggressive look (wheels, big front lip etc..) it just looks out of place. First one is cleaner and wish I had gone with something like that.

how do you like their quality? It seems like they're one of the few (if not only) after market options for 2015+ W218.

Did it install okay, not too hard? I have heard about the RW / eBay options being a slight pain to install right because of the quality. I reached out to JC on Facebook as well, havent heard back yet (it is late overseas) so I'll keep ya posted.

It`s a much bigger diffuser , trickier to install , i used a heat gun.
If you are not handy with this type of thing , i would recommend a body shop.
Ask for Fiona , she replies fast.

They both look nice, I myself have the one in picture 2, it's from Renntech and cost a lot.....more than 3500........but it's boss as hell, I have the RT front lip to match....which took some getting used to but it's cool too......aggressive as another member put it......I'd choose the 2nd one. my bumper came off for install.

I was lazy and left it on but you could probably get it to fit better with the bumper off.
