Questions about this lip spoiler

I like this rear spoiler MUCH better than just about any of the others I've seen around here. The other bigger, wider ones I've seen look too "old school" for my taste.
Is this a good price for this painted spoiler? Any other sources for it? Anyone know the order code for it from MB?

thanks
Jim

I think it's cool how it is not even visible. Must use some kind of stealth technology.

I think OEM MB wings painted are $400 from caliber motors in anaheim. Id rather spend the extra money and get an original part with factory paint

I e-mailed the seller to see if it is an actual MB part or replica.

Honestly I doubt its real considering the EURO versus $ rates, MBenzNL, and the sticky posted at the top. Lets see: part's cost + prep + paint ?

it clearly says "AMG Style" etc., etc., that is definitely not authentic AMG.

People seem to be happy with their (replica?) lip spoiler from formymercedes.com. The seller of this spoiler also has an auction for the same type as that on the formymercedes.com website, so maybe this one is of good quality too?

too bad those pics from the seller are of actual C55 spoilers, and not a pic of the product being sold.

He e-mailed me that this is a replica, cast from the original part. I'm waiting to hear back about pics of the actual replica spoiler. Anyway, he's got 1700+ feedback, of which 99.9% is positive, so I doubt he's selling junk
If someone knows where I can get the same part, but authentic, painted, for about the same $$$, please let me know

Now I'm torn! I like this spoiler too! I just wish it didn't cover up the top/back of the trunk! It reminds me of the spoiler on a BMW in my neighborhood, that also sort of hangs off the rear of the car.

that spoiler is horrendous... I'd much rather get the c55 or accessory lip spoiler.

Gee Jim,
I don't think either of these spoilers will fit on your '04 Toyota Sequoia Limited even WITH the * Black exterior/Oak leather interior AND the * JBL 10 speaker 3-in-1 radio/CD changer system.....
:p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p
