Oh I just noticed the plate.. you're from PA.
Perhaps next time I cruise down from the GREAT NORTH (Canada.. aha), I'll be sure to PM you. There's a mall that the wife enjoys going to, so it's no doubt that she'll want to cruise down there over the summer and spend more of my money. Maybe we could get a little Mercedes AMG meet going on! I'm not sure who else is located around, so perhaps you could take care of that part..
&& Of course, permitting you'd have any interest in doing so.

Is there a DIY link on how to remove the stock diffuser? Or daniel, can you explain how you removed the stock diffuser & attach the new one? I'm about to do this, but I don't want to break anything. Thanks

It makes the car look great, but I am a perfectionist. I can't have wavy seams or lines on a product I paid through the nose for. I can see a slight inaccuracy like Super said, and to each thier own. The car is a an amazing perfect work of art in my opinion, and I work damn hard to keep it that way. Why can't it fit totally EXACT? You have a mold right? Laying down the graphite should be streamlined. I am sure it's well made but especially if produced by hand, each one should be unique but flawless. Maybe I expect too much but then again thats me.
Nice job on the install even though people mentioned how difficult it was.

we sold one of these to a customer of ours Joe_Money and after pulling the car apart, we pulled the part out of the box, and when we saw this we could not believe our eyes, and Joe was PISSED, he could not believe he just paid over $500 for this thing, he was disgusted and angry with us, because we suggested this part to him.
As Superlube and Zephyr noticed that wavyness, this is what James at ACG (the dealer whom we purchased the part from) would say is "normal", you should also note that the diffuser will have about 7-8 BROKEN off mounting tabs which is also "normal", not cut off clean and ground down, but broken off,(are you kidding me??) if your diffuser came without the broken off tabs then you have a defective one, and they state it will never fit. The wavyness is in their mold (I have been dealing with CF and fiberglass parts for over 20+ years so I know how molds, resin types and mixing temps etc all work) there is nothing you can do about it if you don't fix the mold and adhere to a certain resin mix and mixing temp, also the inconsistent weave stretches in areas are also "normal", don't mind if there are any cracks in the diffuser those are "normal" as well. We sent hi-res pics to James as ACG, and had to twist his arm just to get him to take it back, well, he denied to give us our money back, so the bank had to step in.. instead he blamed it on UPS and filed a bogus claim with them, oh well I hope for all you guys this is an isolated incedent, but from this pic I see here it seems the "norm".

No disrespect to Neil, I believe he is a stand up guy, however

I'm simply asking a member who posted some photos about the quality of the goods he received because I'm also shopping for a diffuser. Members conversing and helping other members; this is the whole purpose of these message forums.
How the heck is this discrediting anything or anyone?

lol what a dong, flaming another sponsor, let alone a long time one and well established manufacturer. Couldn't have this been discussed privately instead of fueling this nonsense publically. Absolutely NO class.
And superlube is at it again. I swear all he does is sit here and find ways to discredit sponsors. It's peeps like that that make the business BS.
bicker bicker bicker....

You are a strange fellow, GOA.

let me put it this way: if you think this is a crappy product then 99.9% of all other offerings for a similar product are as crappy x100. Euroteck is the one who innovated with CF lips and diffusers, the others are mere replicas.
Superlub, it's just that you had in the past meddled in my business by steering people away from me, mostly due to price point, but i guess that's fine, I would likely have done the same.
But where I think you're incorrect in judging the Euroteck piece is that it is NOT a bad product.
Factually, there unless we're talking OEM manufacturer parts, all aftermarket parts have some tolerance differences in fitment or otherwise. It comes down to whether or not the tolerances are tolerable (no pun intended) or not. In this case, you can be sure that it is withing tolerable specs.
But there are some super picky customers out there who will complain and make a mountain of a hill...or a hill out of a mole...wtf something like that, anyway, you get the idea.
I just find it absurd that everyone is quickly saying that Euroteck parts (well the C63 diffuser in this case) is crappy, after hundreds have been sold and nobody complained about it.
It's just like when people complain about wheels taking a long time to get done, all it take is one negative voice to ruin the bunch. Don't let it. There is nothing wrong with this product.
Also know that I have no vested interest in Euroteck and that this is me just merely backing up a well known manufacturer (and yes, friend), that I see is being wrongly accused.
That's all. Carry on....

Superlub, it's just that you had in the past posted something in a thread about where to get a product for a great price. Even though that thread was posted by a member and I wasn't involved in any way, it angered me and I felt the need to jump in and attack you because this hurt my business, but i guess that's fine, I would likely have done the same.
