i asked a friend of mine who works at a bodyshop and he said 3m tape works great and it'll stay on for the life of the car as long as you have a clean install. to have it installed via bolt on, it would cost about 2 hrs of labor which is about $130 in california.

C300 (W204) w/ MM, P1, & 18"amg's
^ On my dads SL500 he has a lip put on by himself and I. Just take some alcohol wipes. close the garage door. clean it off. and have some one help you "lower" the lip on and it takes like an hour to become permanent.

If you live in Texas or any other hot climate, don't bother trying to install with 3M tape. I tried twice. At first, the spoiler felt like it was bolted on each time- not going anywhere. Once it hit 105 F outside, the tape failed.
I'm getting a quote for professional installation, but may ultimately have an arctic white spoiler for sale.

I'm going to be in the minority of those that prefers no-rear spoiler. I admit when the W204 debuted I liked it, told my wife we've got to get one for our car. The more and more I look at our car I find the spoilerless look more elegant, contemporary and perfect. The spoiled cars look good too, but in some way the look somewhat discounts the car IMO.

So I know a few mentioned the JBSpeed one, but mostly other brands. Has anyone gotten the JBSpeed AMG style one painted? It's only $180, so its a great deal, just want to make sure I'm putting a quality product on my car.
Also still debating whether to actually get it or not, but I love the AMG design lip and at that price its hard to pass up.

I have a lip spoiler from ebay that does not protrude as much as the AMG one seems but I really like it. It only cost 70 with paint and shipping included and I've had it installed for at least a year I think. The color matches perfectly.

I think this is their most recent link. If I remember correctly, they alternate listing it at lower and higher prices, so if you're patient you may be able to buy for less than that 89 list price.
Edit: Check my "garage" on this site and you can see it on my car. I don't have a zoomed picture of it at the moment though.
