Hi Harris,

I saw one of these on a red '05 sedan at my dealer and liked it. The sticker on the car said it was $895. I asked the manager about it and he said he could install it on my car (also '05 sedan) for a whopping $20 discount at $875. That was real generous.

Anyway, can your bundle/kit/whatever be self-installed? I don't have any experience modding cars, but I'm not a total dumbass either.

And are you able to offer them in the other '05 colors besides non-metallic black and brilliant silver?

Unfortunately, those are the only colors available at that price. The spoiler comes with adhesive tapes, all you need to do is to clean the trunk lid really well and stick the spoiler on top. The install can be done in less than 15 seconds. Tell your salesman to save the $20 for himself, you can buy that freaking spoiler for half the price!!

Harris,
any chance you're going to get any more (painted in diff colors) in the future ?

Would like to buy a PEWTER colored-one for the C320 Sport Sedan around December time-frame.

let me know. Thanks.

Thanks Harris. Any idea where else I might get a color-matched OEM decklid spoiler other than my dealer?

Alternatively, is $400 what the dealer would pay for the spoiler? Maybe I can work from that number and offer him $400+1 hour of labor to install. Or does he have to paint it too?

Look at this thread. Not obvious but it does list a PN and a EURO price for an unpainted spoiler. This is not in competition with Harris. Its just an alternative involving a little bit of extra effort that Harris normally takes off your hands. HTH

Oh yeah, I saw that a little while ago. Maybe you guys could give me a little advice. So the sales manager already told me he would install for me at $875. I'm not interested in that price.

But the PN/EURO price thread indicates the (unpainted, I guess) spoiler costs about 320USD. Obviously, I want mine painted. How much of a labor/paint materials cost do you think I should allow the dealer to paint the thing and hand it to me?

Would $200 cover the cost of paint and labor? I'd just ask them to hand me the painted spoiler and I could install myself so I don't have the leave the car at the dealer for the 24 hour cure time. That would end up being $520. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

I would take a pic and ask a couple of reputable shops in your area. That would give you the best pricing range available. On here you may get the "friend of a friend" type scenario. BTW, I don't know if that one listed in the sticky comes with the mounting tape or not. You may have to find that as well.
