Never really understood painting the rear diffuser. But to each his own I guess.

I love your car. It doesnt have the ricey touches many other AMG owners do. However, I have to question the rear diffuser doc. Should have left it black man. I still love your car though.

Looks great Roy! I like the painted rear valance, I think its looks funny when there not painted to match. Any plans on lowering it?

Looks very nice. I really like those wheels. The rear diffuser looks better black and if they make a carbon fiber diffuser like they do for the E55, you should go with that.

Very nice. I was thinking about having my diffuser painted white but now I am changing my mind. No offense just not my liking. I wish they made a carbon fiber diffuser for the CLS's. Congrat the grill looks awesome.

I don't know of any dealers, I think the best bang for your $$ is the renntech lowering module.

I pulled the rear diffuser off of my wife's E55 and exposed the white paint underneath. I really did not like it so I bought the carbon fiber diffuser and it really sets off the back end.
