Its pretty straight forward, remove old, replace with new... you will have a few tabs that need to be clipped/pushed in and 2 screws if i remember correctly.

thanx again for the help

I'm looking for the front lip spoiler for my E350 W212. Do you have something available? Can you PM me the style and price may be? Thanks!

hyperion667

first time I have used this BS flag!!!!
this is completely NOT TRUE.............wtf??

was told by indy shop, "yeah, we can't do this because it does
NOT just come off, there are rivets involved"

this was very suprising to me.......
I will return this if the next shop cannot help,

you should have been more upfront about install than you were.....
I will wait to post information on the boards about this until after it's on:
if it even goes on.......

James@ACG

I honestly do not understand why you are having so much difficulty with this install, you may want to find a "shop" that knows what it is doing.

I have sent Peter two pictures that he will host so that I can prove to you how simply this install is.

If your installer actually took a look at the Vorsteiner piece it would be plain as day what needs to be done. You have one rivet on each side next to the out most exhaust tip. Remove/Drill out the rivet, then simply unclip the factory rear diffuser, and clip in your new vorstiner one which installs like the Mercedes Factory plastic insert using the factory clips. I will post pictures as soon as they are hosted.

Here is the photo of the rivet


And the clips


You also will have clips on the upper section of the diffuser as well so also simply get pushed in.

hyperion667

you guys are so full of BS....
this is not a simple install.....
to get it looking good, and fit securely the bumper will have to come off......^&%$
not previously mentioned by the brains at ACG

anyone considering this product; reconsider.......

it is not as easy as they say.......
I am beginning to think this company is run by a bunch of
20 something year olds with very little desire to completely
inform the customer.....
sure, aftermarket parts never fit exactly right......
but jesus christ this is ridiculous.......
had to have extra brakets to hold it in,
you can't see both exhaust tips clearly...
you guys should seriously go to college and try a different line of work.....

_AMG_

Hyperion, who did the install for you?

I also had to remove my bumper to install the Vorsteiner diffuser, Only becuase I wanted it to fit perfectly.

hyperion667

thanx for your reply,
some good guys in Apex, NC......
they also suggested having the bumper come off, and I; like you, want
it to fit perfectly......
I've come this friggin' far you know?
all will be fine in the end, it's just having some sort of idea how the thing actually
goes on would benefit these cats....as well as the customer they're working for....
don't get me wrong, it is a nice product.....

_AMG_

I personally thought installing my diffuser was gonna be as easy as 1,2,3 but it does involve some work.

As long as everything fit nice and secure, then that's all that matters.
The diffuser looks amazing though, very aggressive!!
Would love to see some more pics.

hyperion667

and even that wouldn't be so bad if they'd just realistically prepare you for it you know? instead of blowing a bunch of smoke up your *** about how simple the install is.........
it is a nice look......
and thanx, but the diffuser in your sig makes mine look like Mickey's, lol......

_AMG_

Ya, it would be better to state the necessary steps that need to be taken for the instal.

Thanks for the kind words brotha.
lol, No way is that Mickey in comparison to mine. On the contrary, yours looks BADASS!!!

Btw saw a Iridium Silver W212 E63 on the fwy today and that thing looks EVIL, especially from the front.
Any more carbon mods for your beast?

hyperion667

was thinking about a CF spoiler.....but not sure how I like the contrast that visable on my car, sure the diff is CF, but it's at the bottom...
don't think I want a front lip because I'd f*ck it up...
I'd love to slap some more CF pieces on there, under the hood too...
and the 212's do look evil huh? my 550 has the front grill colored black..
with a big center star, love it because the car actually looks pissed off, lol
the renntech dude on here makes sick pieces for various places.....not sure if it's just for his ridebut he has the engine cover that I love....covered in skulls.....

_AMG_

Ohhh man that looks killer!!

The Vorsteiner CF spoiler would flow very well with the diffuser.
I know what you mean about the front lip, that's the only reason why I haven't purchased one because I know I'm gonna f**k it up.
You can however buy some CF intake boxes which look pretty sick.

Ya, I saw the E55 skull covered engine cover, looks menacing!! Suites the car very well.
I'm sure he can make something sick for you as well, he wrapped his HRE's in CF which came out flawless.

hyperion667

haha......going to day to have the bumper taken off for a better fit.....
..........

would love to have an engine cover similar to that.....
in regards to the ACG:
makes me so mad to hear the voice in my head "but it's really simple man"
do these kids do the work? or just peddle the parts?
I could do this too, I could go into banking; whilst knowing nothing of banking, and do the same thing these leeches are doing......

part A212 885 55 25, panel.....
the one I replaced with finned diffuser......
retails for 418 and some change FYI......

Do you really have to refer to people as "xxx"? I love reading bigotted Internet tough talkers. So you had issue with your diffuser, take a xanex and get over it. But to resort to using epitaphs that are completely uncalled for in a public forum? Dude, grow up an act like an adult. I know the guys at ACG personally, and your inappropriate missive aside, they'd probably be more than happy to help you if you didn't just jump to publicly trying to defame them. They've installed tons of mods to my C63 with no issues, and while that doesn't make them impervious to criticism from anyone else, it adds some gravitas to my post. But hey, maybe they shouldn't sell products to **** kicking, inbreeding rednecks in the middle of north Carolina. Oh whoops, now doesn't that seem hypocritical. Look forwaard to seeing pics of your E63 at the next Klan rally.

hyperion667

relax pertplus, I apologize if I struck a nerve.........
while I respect your thoughts, your hostility is not really coming from a hetero place is it?
You know very little of the rest of the facts that surround
this absurd process.....I'm really happy that the boys over at your favorite store have treated you so well and that the products they sell have worked out for you....
and what are these TONS OF MODS??? what.....like 2 or 3 things?

anyway,

and I'd also add I love the color of your car, it's the same as mine.......
when you acend to a point in life where you too can afford an E63 class I'd
love to have you as a guest at one of our klan rallies...
but you have to promise to leave your partner(s) at home because they would not be well received here in the good ole' state of North Carolina........because we're all such nutters and bonkers......
I've never had any prescription drugs prescribed to me before.......would
zanax help?

many thanx

Pertplus

A hetero place? Seriously? Youre right, not a lot of mods, just MBH headers, MACarbon interior and steering wheel, P47 HREs, Akrapovic Exhaust, Revosport front bumper and Satin clear bra wrap on my car. Shall I continue?

And ascend to a point to buy an E63? Is that how you judge whether people have reached a certain stage in their life, whether they can afford an E-Class? Congrats, youre the richest person in North Carolina besides Ken Lewis and Michael Jordan. You've achieved ultimate success...so much so that you decided to DIY your own vorsteiner bumper, instead of hiring your pit crew to do it yourself. Why don't you hop on your private jet, fly out to California, and by your west coast E63 and see how the parts you want are installed properly. I mean, considering your immense wealth, that shouldn't be an issue right? I just assumed if you ascended to the heights of buying an E63 and private jet is a drop in the bucket!

hyperion667

relax mr girly shampoo name okay?
is that all the mods you have?? LOL......
what a girly man......
you'll get yours in due time.....
you're a waste of my VALUABLE time, LOL.............

later....

Vic55

guys lets stop this now--- take it to PM's if you must but this is a sponsor's thread... Im not taking sides but we need to get this thread back on track.


Thanks.

Pertplus

Really, as a moderator, youre not taking sides by letting someone call a sponsor a "***." I've seen or heard about people being banned or suspended for commenting on a sponsor's product, but using a derogatory term like that is ok????? Hmmm, good to know.

hyperion667

for what it's worth I apologize for my part in the bantering....

I was merely trying to express my unhappiness with the customer
support from the vendor.....which I will say again, In my dealing's....was terrible...
all in all my part is on, it looks great and I am pleased with it......
it isn't like it's Vorsteiners fault..........
again, please excuse my teenage tendencies....

Vic55

Really, you are correct... I will edit that post. And there is a report post button which you could have used as well so all the mods could have seen this. I didnt see this post reported but just happen to scan it rather quickly.

We dont get paid to do this job and its often a thankless task and we dont see everything either (thus my missing those words used which I now see). I generally rely on the members to right the issues and for the most part it does happen.

And Hyperion667 thanks for that last post.

hyperion667

I just started to see some discolored spots on the top of my diffuser....
anyone know what that means?

_AMG_

Is it turning yellow?
