Question Spotted: CLS55 with a trick rear diffuser (F430 like?)
I was heading home on the freeway and saw a black CLS55 AMG dropped but what caught my eye was the really trick rear diffuser. Looks like a full bumper replacement but it had the center vented section like the F430.

Anyone know what rear bumper this is?

sick ride - I was in the white NSX

I think it is MEC Design. Been wanting to get that myself for a while. I think it is the best rear diffuser thur far but too bad the whole bumper must be switch out.

The renntech part does not have any sort of center vent area.
