I just don't want to end up like this guy...LOL

He went and got a FL C63 diffuser and is FORCE fitting and cutting and gluing it to to a CL 55 bumper

What goes on in some peoples brains baffles me...

where did u get that diffuser and how much I have a big fin on the car but this looks more aggressive, my style ,don't look rice to me, looks mean

I had a really hard time finding one like that. I got it used on here from another member. It's the RW Carbon one. No one seems to have a nice "big fin" diffuser any more. And the ones that seem to have big fins now are just carbon versions of the stock diffuser with extensions stuck on the fins

I have the big fin from eBay like some of the others have posted. It took a lot of work to get it fitted correctly, but worked out in the end. Here's the link to larger pics: http://imgur.com/a/L6G3P

Zeph, I have the one you posted in your first post, it looks good if your car is lowered, has some nice wheels, and all the other CF bits to go with it, otherwise, if your car is mainly stock, go with something else lol, it will look out of place. Also, happened a few time already where Im coming out of a steep driveway and this diffuser will actually hit the ground cause the fins stick out so much but maybe because im lowered on coilovers. Mine has stress cracks all over from impacting with the ground multiple times lol.

Mode did actually have a PFL diffuser at 1 point. If you message them directly they may be able to get it for you still.

Do it! Big fins look good, provided the fit and finish are top notch. I forget the company, but there was a style out there with the big fins that flowed into an underbody diffuser, with a separate piece.

Thanks!! Overall I like it, I just didnt like how it looked with the stock trunk lip, I think it needs the dtm type trunk lip to complement it to look better, I haven't gotten any new pics yet though, its still in the shop with the weistec build.

Also being low, I have actually scrapped the fins on the dfiffuser lol

the big fins diffuser alone looks extreme but combined with a V style trunk spoiler it is a different story.

I agree...RW does not carry it anymore...

I agree....a stock car and an aggressive diffuser would really look out of place.I am far from stock, just no headers or exhaust work...

I definitely tried. They do not sell anything PRE facelift...It's a shame, because they would make a killing if they did. There are tons of PRE facelift still out there....

I am thinking about it but I am lowered and might scrape. You are talking about this guy:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-W20...xUwLUo&vxp=mtr

I like it and was actually considering it. There is no wind break as the air flows through the bottom panel and out the back aerodynamically. Proper for track...

^^^ YES! I called them as well. Their customer service is a bit awkward and problem is its around $750+ not including shipping to you for a front lip thats gonna get beat up on!

Love that lip though....wish the Chinese would reproduce awesome stuff like this instead of diffusers with oversized lips over the exhausts, etc...

Take a look on this site CNAutoFans, I noticed they have a couple of diffusers. I ordered my rear spoiler from them and the quality/transaction was great. There is always a gamble though but my purchase was smooth.

May be worth the purchase Zeph I spoke with Neal and he said he will do the lip for 599 + Shipping. Which was a group buy price they had a few years back. Since shipping is from Florida I think it may be worth it.

Tell me, you getting one? I noticed your front bumper was still lip-less...
I have seen it in person. It truly is the best CF front lip available IMO

Im considering it, but I think I may have found a supplier of the Original Vorsteiner lip for the PFL's. Tough choice, I like them both. But the euroteck lip is amazing.
