Ok, got it installed yesterday by bodyshop.
Here are some of my comments.
1. The diffuser does not come w/ brackets in the back, so the bodyshop had to rig it using the factory ones.
2. The finish is good and CF is consistent through out
3. The fit is OK. The reason why I say ok is that not all of the tabs lined up w/ the bumper. If you look closely on the pictures attached, you can see the middle part is out a bit while the sides are more tucked in. It is hard to tell from the pictures as well as if you are more than couple feet away.
4. Overall, I really like dealing w/ the seller. I just ordered a lip from him as well.
5. Shipping is super fast, not like the ones you have to wait 15-22 business days for shipping and you are paying $100+ for it. This seller is the same cost in shipping but you get it in 3-4 days.

Yeah I was thinking of getting the big fin diffuser but i like the OEM look and my personal opinion is that big fin stands out too much.

But one thing is that the ebay seller is really customer service orientated.
As of writing this forum post, if you count incoming and outgoing messages between me and the seller, there is total of 86 messages.

Good move skokkosis, you have always been helpful to this forum.
I'm so tempted to sell my OEM style CF diffuser for this one, but I'm afraid the fitment is bad. I wonder if KEMA installed his yet? I hope he didn't run into some fitment issues.

will do amg! and we will know within the next week, unless kema updates us sooner with his, also guys, with this mod i want to get some mean exhaust tips! akrapovic sure would look GREAT attached on the back with the big fin diffuser, but i had contacted them a while back for purchasing tips alone, can someone guess the price they told me!? (they didn't want to negotiate either)
funny thing is, i have never been a fake repping fan boy.. i wanted the tips so i can get the painted matte black, not even rep that i have an akrapovic exhaust (one can notice the moment they hear the car regardless) any help would be greatly appreciated, i just want nice square tips, nothing universal, they wanted 1.3k! and i told them that their slip on is low 3's how is it possible for the tips to make up 1/3 of the product!? pathetic.
/end rant

I also contacted the seller to ask for a picture of the diffuser installed on a C63 and he said this is the same diffuser but it looks different looks different to the one in his ad. This one doesn't look as sharp on the fins.

^^^^^ from the looks of that pic, it doesn't fit flush. Why can't these people get these products to fit flush? They make some good products till it comes to fitment.

amg, how ridiculous is that price! i haven't tried gianelli, or w/e that other company was called that made a system with square tips, i guess if i really want square i should ask them next, sigh, what if you buy these guys systems and then get in a fender bender!? onto of your rear bumper work you'll be paying roughly the same or tips too! purely insane!
amg_010 and merc skykap well know as soon as i receive the item, thanks 010 for asking him for photos
normadie, yours looks great! great luck on the free purchase!

I had one of the expensive brand CF diffusers, and fitment was no better than a rep, so dont worry about that.
I think the Arkym is the best looking, and fitting. I had there front lip, and fitment was EXACT!
