I must say that the CF spoiler looks great along with your black car and rims!

What's next?

That's only because I didn't check the thread until now. At least a real Black Series has c/o's!

EDIT: Oh, and the spoiler looks dope.

We picked it up last month in preparation for the new baby. Having the 500 is a nice change from the V6 in the C classes. We really like it alot. I will have another C someday though.

Looks great. Random question:

Can you please advise the way the 3M tape is under the spoiler?

I have an original C55 spoiler wrapped in CF but I had to retape it myself. Something tells me I didn't do it right.

thanks man!

I was thinking of the same thing. leaving only a little strip of CF exposed (like how many people paint their CSL bootlids) or doing some sort of fade in or translucent painting... but, my car is black and it really wouldn't show that much and I didn't want to spend the $$$ on paint.

I don't think I taped it on perfectly too.

I just put tape ALL over the bottom of the spoiler and stuck it on and used masking tape to hold it overnight.

when I said all over the bottom, I meant I covered the entire portion of the spoiler that you can't see with tape--I used two rolls
