Say what?
Just kidding!
Glad you got it and like it! The install should go well. I have not heard from Ken in a while, maybe he is out of town. He told us all we needed to do was lower the side screws a bit, which we did. So hopefully that should be good where they are now.

Glad to hear that everyone got their diffuser. hopefully everyone was able to install it already. like neal stated, i email him that the screw needed to be move down a bit more then where mine was. mine was about 1/8 of a inch from the line that separated the diffuser and bumper. and also it would hit the rear metal bumper frame. my installer took out the bumper and install the diffuser then he put back the bumper. if your screw doesn't hit the metal bumper frame then you shouldn't have to remove the bumper at all. it was a perfect fit. my installer also put 4 screw(self tap screw) on the bottom of the diffuser (1 on each side right between the exhaust and 1 on each side of the outer fin). you won't be about to see the screw until you get under the car. you don't need to put the screw cause it should be a snuggle fit but my install was a bit worry about the double side tape due to his bad lucky with them. hopefully that help. email me if you have any problem installing it and maybe i can help out.
Neal did a really nice clean job on the diffuser.

Hi Neal, sorry i didn't have a chance to take more picture to send to you a while back. was out of the country due to a family emergency and just got back to the state a couple of night ago.

At this time I would like to officially say that all diffusers have been shipped out, and this will conclude the group buy. I want to personally thank everyone who trusted us in making this part without seeing anything first and still willing to pay up front. I must say, this is the longest most drawn out group buy I ever did. If anyone has any questions with installing their diffuser, or any other concerns. Please feel free to contact me at any time.
Thank you again to all
Neal

Whoever doesn't really know about this car won't ever pay attention to the piece, but the MB AMG drivers out there will know there's something different about our rears The fitment is great and absolutely flush with the bumper, I couldn't have asked for more. Now I can't look at other CL's without it, just makes ours that much more special and cooler!
Only thing Neal, do you think the limited edition decal will get messed up eventually after regular use underneath the car?

Just got mine installed yesterday on my black CL. Neal, you did awesome work. Looking at the piece, I thought it might have been a little small on the car and not that noticeable.......after getting it on, my thoughts were wrong, it's perfect! Looks vicious from the back and sides Whoever doesn't really know about this car won't ever pay attention to the piece, but the MB AMG drivers out there will know there's something different about our rears

We been using these decals for many years on lots of different applications. From what I have seen they seem to hold up very well. I have not seen any get messed up, or at least it has never been brought to my attention. If you wanna be SUPER protective, you can always get a small square of clear bra to put over it to really protect it! But I doubt you will need it.

Hi Guys, did you affix the diffuser the way Neal suggested or did you use Sunpointer's method?
I'm still awaiting customs clearance for mine, they are taking forever. Hopefully in about a week's time I will receive delivery.

I would use Sunpointer's way, because i think it may be easier for the install.

Neal, You know when I first put that diffuser up to my bumper I was really wondering if I could not of even installed it over the existing, black portion that you had us remove. I guess the tape probably won't of stuck as well but, just wondered if that was even a thought ? Ripping that puppy off was a job and the diffuser seemed to cover it up fit pretty well !

Awesome! thanks! I would love to see pics of it on a black car too!

I'll have pics when it's done. Just got it carefully unwrapped.
Reading Instructions.. Taking a few pics (before it's on).
So that stock piece comes off easy?
