C55 because of its low profile. The sport lip spoiler looks a little clunky in my opinion.

This is the "Spoiler" thread that was started a while ago. Should give you some ideas.

Well, I'm kinda partial to the Carlsson C-RS spoiler (for the obvious reason), but make sure you get the real one and not a knockoff like I ended up getting (didn't know when I first purchased).

I really want to buy the OEM C55 Spoiler but afraid with the instalation process. For those of you who did this mod, how much did you spent (OEM spoiler and labor to install and paint)?

TIA

What are you afraid of exactly? Install is one of the easiest DIY's (much like changing the sidemarkers and bulbs), especially for a cosmetic part.

When you purchase it, I'm pretty sure the dealer provides it painted already and wouldn't be surprised if other shops that sell it (i.e. FMM) provide it painted.

All you have to do is install it. That means #1) make sure the trunk is super clean, #2) pre-align the spoiler where it should go (i.e. put the spoiler on the trunk before you take un-peel the tape), #3) un-peel the double sided tape, #4) place the spoiler on the trunk, and #5) use masking tape (so it doesn't harm the paint) to hold the spoiler in place for a couple hours *Suggestion has been made by several people to do this at night, so that the double sided tape has time to set in.

5 easy steps.
