Where to buy SL63 style spoiler? (Best quality)

I'm looking to buy an SL63 replica spoiler for an older SL55. I see them going for as little as $88 and as high as $400. For all I know they are the same piece, just sold by a different person.

I'm really picky about the color match and also want the spoiler to lay flat with no gaps. Which seller or store offers the highest quality painted replica spoiler?

I bought the JBspeed spoiler from here on the forums. VERY impressed. Fit my trunk lines PERFECTLY. Paint was good too. Well worth it (it does come from China).

Thanks for replying! It lays perfectly flat with no gaps at all you say? Paint color match spot on? How long was did it take from the time you ordered it?

It fit the trunk sheetmetal lines perfectly, no gaps. Hopefully others have had the same success.

Color match was "good enough". As with any gloss black car, there is ALWAYS the potential for a hue mismatch under certain light sources. You think it matches your car great until you get that one type of light where you see the very slight mismatch. That's why whenever you paint a black car, you might as well just repaint the whole thing. I'll put it this way - I never notice the color hue difference, but I know it's there because I've seen it once, barely. The car's paint is also much older too compared to the new spoiler. Plus it's plastic vs aluminum base material.

Took about 7 days to get to me, and it came from international which was impressive. Definitely recommend to buy.

08 SL55
Bought mine from Jerry at myroadster.net

Perfect fit but, it took two tries b/c paint wasn't completely cured and packing material messed up the finish. Second try was better, I was able to buff out several imperfections.....
