Rear Flics for W205 AMG Review!
I bought the flics at the link below. I couldn't believe Mercedes wanted $300 for the oem ones. I am usually a 100% oem guy but could not justify $300 for plastic pieces. so i took a chance on this company from california. they seem to be 3d printed but the finish is amazing. maybe still from china or asia at the end of the day but the quality was awesome. And the best part is they clip in to oem mounting instead of drilling or sticking on with 3m tape. 10 minutes to install! and could remove easily too.
I am very happy with them! rear end looks thick for a sedan.

Edit: Scratch that... I've dealt with Mars Performance before but the price difference is ridiculous!!!

Was it difficult to remove the old ones, and do you think it will be difficult to swap back to the originals? I’ve been thinking about doing this but I’m leasing and don’t want to break the original or the OEM mounting clips. I heard they require a bit of force to remove which always makes me nervous if I don’t know exactly what I’m doing.

Notwithstanding my better judgment, I ordered the rear flicks from the link above for my c43 coupe. HUGE mistake.
For starters, the finish on the inside (visible) of the flick was splattered with an inconsistent finish and there was rough plastic as well. While that could be fixed, the fitment was terrible which cannot be fixed.
Not an expensive loss, but figured I would inform people that is product is crap quality.

did you buy from bulbxpert? or that other link someone posted from mars performance? mine are from bulbxpert and are great. it does matter who you buy from as i am sure they all do different things to cut corners to reduce cost. maybe there is not a good coupe solution yet.

Most aftermarket companies seem to struggle with the rear flicks for the coupe (or they just resell the same sh**).
I've bought about 4 sets all from different sources, none fitted properly.

I installed the ones Star4life linked to in the OP on my C450. They are very tight, but once they click into place fitment is perfect. These look great and I'm glad I bought them. I'm sorry to hear that the versions for the coupe aren't ready for prime time.

The coupe rear flicks are different from the sedan in very minor measurements. Ask for flicks specific for the coupe. They do make them. So, if the seller tell u it's the same, don't buy from him.

The ones I purchased were from the recommended seller and specifically marketed being for the coupe.

The
rear flics of the coupé are different from those of the sedan. Are the bumpers of the coupé c43 and c63 the same?
no one installed them anymore??
Are those the right ones for a C43 coupe?
