Mattar - My windows are 25% all around.

Cntlaw - The E class spoilers will not fit on your car, however I believe Lorinser makes them for the C class as well.

T-Bone - First, actually, the diffuser was painted. We sanded it down so that it would be smooth like the car itself and then painted the piece while it was on the bumper. Looks much better this way rather than just taking it off. Second, WHERE did you find that carbon fiber diffuser?!?!?! I wish I had just taken mine off cuz then I could get a carbon fiber one and not feel guilty. If I end up getting the Brabus CF front lip though I HAVE to get your CF diffuser. Where can I find one and how much?!?!

i'm curious as to why you think it looks better painted? do you have a close up picture? i'm not saying one is better than the other, i just wonder how it would look like sanded. did you want to keep the diffuser on because then it would all be flush?

The smoked taillights look real good! Same with the spoiler.

Essentially, yes. When the diffuser is removed you can see an indent between the exhaust and it is apparant that something belongs there. I've seen this before and I wasn't a fan. Personally, I think it looks more flush to keep it on. Also, it is, in fact, sanded. It looks MUCH better than it did when it wasnt. Unfortunately I dont have any pics of when it wasnt sanded but here are some close-ups of it now. I mainly painted it because the black (to me) seemed to stand out too much and didnt really keep the lines of the car fluid. Here are some pics:

too many to list
Smoke lights look decent, and im still 50/50 on the decklid spoiler, and definately opposed to the rear windshield spoiler although to each his own. Need to see the smoked lights on black to get a better decision. That cf diffusor is HOT! PLEASE post the manufacturer and the price!

sorry, but it looks a bit crappy
too smoked lights, spoiler is useless and looks like forcibly sticked, only bumper mod is quite acceptable...
but i don't like the altogether...
