Carlos:

Yes my Roof spoiler was brand new, came in with all the mounting equipment, even the german installation sheet which I have no clue what its saying!

I decided to use the VHB 3M tape because thats basically the "strongest double sided tape out", its one hell strong, my friend and I was trying to yank it off afterwards. no luck.

ismeto,

yeap, robert answered the question, they are 2005+ facelift tails, but I had tinted them

Interesting...
you're the first to use double-sided tape on a Lorinser roof wing.
Everyone else I know that has one used the 1-zillion mile-an-hour adhesive bond stuff.

As long as it stays put though, I guess that's OK.

I love my Lorinser roof wing... one of the few non-MB add-ons my Coupé can claim.

Haha!

I agree carlos, its probably one of the best-add-ons for the coupes. I refused to buy it at MSRP, but I got mine at a fraction of the cost! and its brand new!

buy it all and sell what you don't need here. but the full kit would match nicely together.

I dont know why, but for some odd reason, I hate the lorinser front...I hate the rear as well, its just that I want a dual/quad setup, and if I did get the skirts/rear bumper, i'd just patch up the holes

I was considering Lorinser side skirts but they just don't seem to flow with the body lines too well. I actually prefer the stock side skirts.
