Trunk lid spoiler advice
Looking for opinions on where to get a quality trunk lid spoiler. I had a great one on my C Class and wish I remembered where I got it. Last fall I bought one for my CLS from a vendor here on this forum. It showed up in one day, overnighted from overseas. The finish and color were spot on. Unlike the one I got for my C, this one was straight as a board. I have had it put on FOUR times, with the strongest 3M adhesives to no avail. The last time, it was put in the paint booth for 45 minutes, with the hope it would flex and cool off with a slight arch in it. I had it removed on Saturday and would like to find a new one to replace it. I've looked around online, and all the quality ones seem to come unfinished. If you have a nice one that came painted and FIT WELL, please re commend your source. Thank you in advance.

Asked them not to but they had no choice and the spoiler stuck as though it was bolted to the car.

Both mine and my wifes CLS come off about every month... i thought it was because I put it on in the winter... but after hearing you...hmm I will re-do it one more time.. but will use some silicone along with the 3m tape... it seems to only "pop" a couple of inches on one side...

Got my AMG/factory replica lip spoiler spoiler from CariD. Great customer service, Painted to match and 99% near perfect fit/curve that uses 3M double sided tape along with a bead of silicon to seal it up. Two years later it's still solid and I forget it was taped on. In fact, needed someone to push my car into the garage when I had a dead battery this winter and I had two guys using the lip as leverage. I

Moof, after some issues with UPS my spoiler finally showed up last week. It had a nice curve to it that fit the shape of the trunk lid perfectly. Car was dropped off at shop last night for install and cleaning the Winter dust off. Thanks again. To others........ Be careful buying this item if it comes from a member here.
