So I suspect a variety of pliers and pry bars might be in order to get an optimal bend in those clips.
    Do you have pictures of it installed? Would you sell it?

    Quality seems good, can't speak to the fitment yet. There aren't any visible imperfections as far as I can see.

    It's going to the paint shop this week along with the rest of the car. Because my whole car is being painted, getting the diffuser painted wasn't a factor for me.
    This Burkhart diffuser attachments looks really similar to the happybuyitnow ebay one I purchase a while back.

    Also, did you give your shop specific instructions on how to paint the diffuser? I have an unpainted MileEnd diffuser, but am not sure if I should just mask the carbon part myself rather than trusting the shop to know how the CSL diffuser should be painted.

    You can get it unpainted for 470 euro ($530) plus 50 shipping and have your painter paint it better.
    I got total include shipping for 779 painted from euroconnex, where you see that price from?

    Doesn't Euroconnex have a better piece, painted, at like $500?
    Euroconnex is $699 painted + shipping. I will be in on the ebay piece at probably $600 when its all said and done but at least I can trust my painter to get the tape lines the way I want and use Glasurit paint to match the rest of my car for whatever that is worth.

    i'm surprised Karbonius hasn't created one yet. I'm sure the market for diffusers are far greater than the vented fenders they just released.

    Even though I bought my VCSL GST3 diffuser new from Vorsteiner, I think I paid close to 8-900 bucks for it.

    Which is ridiculous but now I'm kicking myself for not getting a used one last year when I had the chance.

    These options suck lol

    Still pretty expensive and need to have it painted now as well but it is what it is. I just bought one. Says there is only one left in stock so somebody should jump on it asap.

    Look at that paint line though. I thought my happybuyitnow167 was bad.
    It appears they don't paint them anymore. Besides the paint line happybuyitnow seems to be the best bang for your buck with decent fitment.
    I planned on repainting one anyways so it doesn't matter to me.
