Quick question regarding C55 spoiler from FFM.COM

Hey guys, well I actually went ahead and bought myself a christmas gift for my benz...its the 'lip spolier A' from fmm.com. However I searched around and couldnt find others who got the same spoiler as I did from them. Almost all went OEM- well that was out of my budget so I went with this. So my question is will this 'SPOILER A' be like the c55 one and anyone know the fitment from fmm.com? I got my cl type grill from there so I know paying more is fine coming from a non-scamming business...heres a pic for reference. They used a pic from a real c55 tho so I dont know how good the replica is going to be...anyone know?
regards,
Jeff

But I didnt order mine from ebay...and I paid 301 with shipping...so I think you bought yours from a different place so the quality/finish/fitment would be different

Yes, but you stated yours is a "replica" as is mine. What I was trying to show is my replica had no fitment issues. Fits exactly like the pic you posted above. Therefore, yours should not either. Now is your replica going to be a $112 better than mine in terms of quality & finish? dunno. I'd bet no, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Search this forum for the spoiler. I know plenty of people got replica spoilers and there were many threads on it. Some people did have some fitment issues where the spoiler wouldn't go flush with the car cause the glue strip wasn't strong enough. Suggestions were to use a different type of adhessive to obtain a better fitment. I'm sure you'll find the answer you're looking for by searching.

thanks man...and yes prolly they will be the same. However I never said my paying more would mean the fitment would be better....Yet remember as the molds increase the quality of these replica's go down...the first few are always the best in fit/finish...and as the mold is used more and more the quality goes down. So congrats you saved $112, but I never said that mine was better- just different vendors that we went through. And my fitment maybe be for worse or better too...who knows no 2 molds are eactly alike.
