I've looked at it when MJ brought it over to Jose's. It's Vinyl on that roof spoiler. roof spoiler i wouldn't paint it myself unless you just want it to be flat black. large surface DIY paint will not be that clean with spray can.

if your DIY is going to end up like your grill then don't bother. just put the thing on! no one is going to notice the way the "weave" looks. I was telling MJ that.

So glad.

For all those that haven't done the recall yet, I suggest you take your car in.

latest mod...

I was feeling pretty proud to be part of MBWorld (with the whole C230_617 CSI crew), so I finally did it. (Well it also helps that I got a couple on Friday--thanks Kev!)



I just got home and it's been a crazy day, so I'll probably take more pics soon.

But, for good measure here are some pics of it taken a week or so ago. Keep in mind, the car had been rained on just a few days prior to the pics.
