Best carbon fiber rear diffuser, spoiler and lip?

Hey Everyone,

Does anyone have a recommendation or experience on a good source for a carbon fiber rear diffuser, spoiler and from lip?

I'm trying to find something like this:



I'm seeing them on eBay for ~$370. Does anyone have experience with these parts from Taiwan?

Thanks Everyone!

xaveon - the one that you have pictured is the RevoZport RBS w/ground effects & it is north of $1600 (I know because I just got one) it is the best one out there IMO but you also need to get the SL63 rear bumper & also the SL63 internal rear frame to do this conversion. So in the end after shipping and everything involved if you DIY your at about $3k

If you don't want to do all of that I will be selling my Euroteck CF diffuser in a week or two. I got it last year & paid $750 plus shipping. As long as I can get it off my bumper I will be offering it for $500 (firm) & it will fit in your existing factory bumper.



I got my CF front lip & rear spoiler from one of the sponsors on this forum... www.formymercedes.com

I bought these RevoZport pieces for my SL63, and many others from them for various AMGs over the last few years. They are quality and worth the price IMHO. Very happy with them

Not sure if it's the same CF front lip that I purchased years ago here from a member/sponsor but after the spoiler got scraped, I took it to get repaired and refinished. The shop owner who is a friend of mine called me in the next day to show me that the piece wasn't actually carbon fiber but was just fiberglass with a carbon fiber laminate and clear coat. It couldn't be repaired and was trashed. No more CF lip for my car. Again, not saying it's the same one but buyer beware.

Be careful which companies you buy from. We have installed many different ones. It seems that the ones that are better quality and have no fitment issues are the ones that cost$$$$$. Remember the cheaper they are the more fitment issues or quality issues one will find. Also do research, ask around if people are happy with the companies they purchased from.

The stuff from formymercedes.com isn't the cheapest you can get & it is real deal CF... I have purchased 3 front lips (yes I have destroyed two of them) from Jerry & have had ZERO fitment issues. My rear spoiler wasn't a perfect fit but it wasn't bad & with a little work it fits great

As far as the Revo diffuser... I will get back to you after the install but for the price that I paid for it, it should install itself

This exactly what this forum needs, a product review by customers. When it comes to these lips and spoilers, there so many of them and they all look good on pictures.

Thx RAWAMG
