AMG GTS
If it's authentic Carlsson and the fitment is good (unlike mine, where I found out it wasn't authentic after the fact) and it's just double sided tape, there's no reason it shouldn't be able to come off later on, but...just have to be careful. Now, if a body shop uses extra product to stick it on your trunk (to make sure it doesn't fly off while you're driving), that's a different story.
Do you know exactly what kind of tape is used to attached the trunk lid spoilers onto the actual trunk? I am wondering is this the type of double sided tape you can just grab at the hardware store or is the trunk lid spoiler a product that is highly recommended to be installed by a body shop because double-sided tape won't be enough to secure it from flying off(considering the body shop would use some other type of adhesive of some sort)?

One with 4 wheels
Isn't that the OEM Sport Spoiler in that sig pic? I think the C55 AMG's spoiler is flatter/thinner?

been looking for a spoiler for my 06 C230 and kina like the one on the 07 but don't like the price. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good retailer that provides OEM spoilers. Would like prepainted if possible. Thanks in advance.

the OEM AMG one or the sport one's always gonna be at least $500. check out formymercedes dot com if you want to get a replica one painted for around $300.

Thanks for the pics and links Jon but comparing prices, the one from formymercedes.com is $289 painted while the one on JLEVISW.com is $225 without paint (with paint is plus $100 = $325 total for a painted OEM replica spoiler.

Just found this carbon fiber rear spoiler on eBay not sure if it has been posted. Looks pretty good Black series style
Thinking about getting one but I already have 2 that I still haven't installed

Here are my other 2 lip spoilers Salvatore and AMG. Too many choices
Maybe I should velcro them on and switch every week

If i had the AMG bumpers i'd seriously consider the carbon fiber front lip, CF spoiler, CF side pillars and maybe CF roof spoiler as well.
Nice find mikessw203
