C55 lip

$199 painted, isnt that cheap? spoilerdepot.com is where I found them. Has anyone bought from them? Just wanted to know the quality. Also anyone spotted the w203 lip instead of the C55 from other site besides formymercedes.com? I wanna do a comparison on prices.

I think that is kinda cheap. I remember pricing them at around $600 or so. Maybe I was getting jacked, but that was from MB.

I'm sure the one from spoilerdepot has to be a replica. Still, that's a good price. I'd be most worried about the paint matching.

You're going to put a bumper on your car that's painted remotely without blending with surrounding panels? Do you park your car outside a lot, in the sun? There's bound to be some fading, and it could look bad. Probably not, just something to consider.

Sounds like a good price, though. Cost me $150 to have my front bumper repainted and blended, and that was just the paint job.

It's a rear lip spoiler, not a bumper
The feedback for that place isn't too good at bizrate.com.

Right, right, right, right, right, right. For some reason was thinking of front ground effects.

It's true people do use the words lip and spoiler for the lower front end aero effects too

$199 is realy cheap, spoilerdepot will be a replica. i have seen a 337 spoiler for a VW from them once. looked good but the paint was not a dead on match. very close but not dead on. the Formymercedes spoiler for me was a dead on match.

i bought my BMW OEM replica spoiler from spoilerdepot.com about 3 years ago. not sure how good they are at matching MB's paint, but it was dead on with my factory paint. car was only about a month old when i had it installed.

If you're worried about paint match, buy it unpainted. It's cheaper.
