the vorsteiner looks nice but is just stupid expensive IMO
You can get vorsteiner knockoffs online if you like the look and dont care about having the real deal.
Tons of people recommend modecarbon and from the pictures they look top notch
The mode carbon diffusers look pretty good from the outside but the attach points are not made very well. Had to heavily modify mine to get it to fit to my satisfaction.
Mode carbon actually recommends using silicone rtv to help secure it in place
Being in the aviation industry I have actually had some experience in making carbon fiber parts and the mode carbon diffuser is not made as good as it should be. They just didn't take the time to make sure the tabs and attach points were made to oem specs.
The style of the diffuser makes a huge difference to the rear end. Im not a huge fan of the vorsteiner diffusers. its a matter of modding taste but i prefer the clean lines of normal finned diffuser.
That being said, the team at @Modecarbon have produced a very nice line of product for the C63. The design has class, it looks and feels like its an OEM piece. The proportions fit the rear end of the C63 impeccably.
I only wish they made diffusers for the PFL cars. Perhaps they should release some sort of anniversary edition.
I have personally been through the hoops with diffusers.
I have not seen the RW, Vorsteiner, or JL in person. I have seen eBay, VFR, JBSpeed (quality was good, fins weren't my style), and Mode Carbon.
I would not hesitate to buy another Mode Carbon! The quality is superior to any that I have seen thus far and I have seen many! Spent a lot of time getting this modification right on my car.

Mode Carbon seems to rank very high but has anyone else had problems fitting them? i.e. attach points etc.

Mine is pre facelift bro. Or do you mean a big fins pre facelift...?

You will notice that non of the manufacturers of the carbon fiber parts ever post any pictures of the back of their parts that show how they are made.
Creating a mold and making carbon fiber parts is not that difficult. Making the tabs and other attach points on the back side of the parts is the difficult part of the process.

Aotosport7, did you have any trouble attaching your Mode Carbon diffuser?

Very true. I also noticed that. Never once have they shown the inside so you can get a glimpse of the manufacture quality or tabs up close. I know that because the diffusers are so rigid, that they do not flex right and mount properly. If not made well with proper tabs, they do not fit and can break and cause damage to bumper.
I am looking into the JLM, Mode, and RW based on appearance. Cannot get into to the Vorsteiner look.
I had a nightmare with ill-fitting CF diffuser on my BMW, and so I have no patience for a diffuser that requires body modification. Are all of these installed without modification or additional adhesive?
