I mean this example is a bit radical for some, but i love it!
see how it wraps under the car. scroll through until u see the rear end of the car. I believe this is revo sport of something along those lines

just, consider this free advice:

+++++ NEVER, EVER buy a (non-original) carbon part before seeing it in person or seeing how that same part actually fits in a car like yours. Do not absolutely trust in pictures +++++


this is based on my direct, unfortunate experience whenever I paid for something non-oem : just last week I got the second interior kit that I do not like and will not install

I think I PM'd all the people who have put money down and/or wanted one of the four that I will have. If I missed someone, please email me at iamnsxtc@gmail.com.

For those who are following this thread. Mark is making the adjustments. I posted those pics of it on the car to show people how it fits. THIS IS A PROTOTYPE for us. It will go back to Mark once I get the other one in. I am waiting for the second one now. Stay tuned.

If any vendor can make the rear diffuser like this let me know. MEC only offer the whole back bumper with the diffuser.

Fast Cars!
I just clicked on this thread to see what this diffuser for the CLS55 would look like. And when i got to the pics my jaw dropped. How much are you guys paying for this part? I am not here to talk bad about a new sponsor such as MCD. But are you for real? that is not a prototype by any means, that is "lets make a part and hope it fits" Clearly they are not using a bumper to make this part? what are they using? the $20 plastic strip that is currently on the car to get this shape? Because if they were using a bumper, maybe there would be a 5mm gap or so on the bottom of the fins. But to have an angle so off that i can stick my hand in there shows they do not have access to a car or bumper to make this part. Which means there will be lots of going back and fourth, and in the end unless they invest some money into making this the right way it will never be good. And the part goes OVER the plastic part? so you still see the edge of the plastic diffuser at the top edges????

I really hope this all turns out well for you guys. I was excited to see what a new CLS55 diffuser would look like, and I was quite embarrassed even looking at that.

it's written in the pic: something like "freshstyling " in germany
they also made some mods on the front but with less luck.

Well I was trying to be nice but ditto on the above. I think you guys got scammed. I hope not, but I see nothing good coming out of this. I was not at all impressed with the pictures.

Bro, even if he comes through............those pics are horrible. Go with the c/c stop now based on the timeframe. Let the others get that piece of turd and then if you think it is worth it, get one. I have everything on my car besides a diffuser because there is no real good one made. That one sure aint gonna cut the mustard.

I'm more concerned on how it looks. I hope it looks right. They can take as much time as they want making it look good. I don't want them to rush and end up getting a ****ty looking diffuser.
