Cheap Spoiler, PUF.. Anyone have experience with this?
This is so cheap that i'm tempted to just try it out but you know what they say.. you get what you pay for.
So i was wondering if anyone has had experience with this PUF-material.
Thanks!

you dont want to buy this crap i've seen it on a car it barely looks like you have anything on it and you are probably going to get laught at . but if you want to waist your money be my guess.

Kinda like the wicker on the trunk of ‘63s.
Always suspect when S&H exceeds an item’s cost…even from overseas.
+1..if you want to waste your money be my guest.
MB’s OE C55/‘07 C230 spoiler can be sourced already painted for less than $250.
Far classier to err on the side of known hardware than tacky junk.
nlpamg fit a sexy carbon fiber spoiler on his C. Perhaps you’ll consider doing same?

Speaking from watching a friend purchase the same thing, be careful as quality and especially fitment seems to be a big issue with these aftermarket types of parts. Some folks understand how to mold fiberglass to spec, and others have no idea, so you get to be the guinea pig. Ebay is not the best place to find quality MB aftermarket parts.

So no one actually said anything except dont buy and yes dont buy it but here is why. So I got a puf spoiler for my gf Lexus IS as a gift, however i didnt know puf aka rubber was even a thing and the material wasn't listed. I wanted a cute little cheap spoiler for her, simple, and unpainted with the plans of vinyl wrapping it for her. Spend $40 on it from ebay. When it first came in it the box was heavy, I was like WHY, took it out of the box yup this big rubber d**** with double sided tape. First I cant vinyl wrap the flex will cause creases like not tomorrow. From a materials point of view you dont put a soft material on a rigid material expecting it to stick. As soon as the temperature changes in 40F up or down its flying off. I would never last this long but rubber will whiten and fade in the sun and eventually start to crack. By the way for fitment you have to bend/form it into place and then stick it and law of elasticity means it will will always be fighting to go back to its relaxed state. Take my mistake as experience that you do not want to put this on your car. Btw I returned that s*** immediately and looked for the fine print of material hidden away in the add all they way at the bottom in tiny print.
