Trunk Lip Spoiler #204-TKS-F

Am ordering a trunk lip spoiler for my friend who owns a C230 (W204) and wondering if anyone here has ordered the one from ForMyMercedez.com (P/N: #204-TKS-F).
Any comments or feedback on the quality and workmanship will be much appreciated. TIA.

Here's the link: http://www.formymercedes.com/mb_resu...egory=Spoilers

Price for the spoiler (painted) is $299.00.

I love mine. Fit and finish is great and installation is easy. I compared it to my friends C350 and it looks very close. I think its much better than the accessory spoiler from MB. Jerry's customer service is also great.

I guess my post didn't mean squat. I'll make sure I don't respond next time you have a post.

And to omgitseaine: Install does NOT require drilling holes. Spolier comes with 3M tape installed (same adhesive used by most manufacturers)
1. Dry fit
2. Mark position with tape or grease marker
3. Clean and remove wax from desired location (alcohol works great)
4. Mix 50/50 water/windex and lightly spray desired location
5. Install lip and press firmly (I used green masking tape to hold mine)
6. Make final adjustments and you're done

lol, im sure he appreciated your input, maybe he just wants more than one source. after reading your first response on the quality, it put my mind at ease that you had a good experience with that dealer since i havent actually recieved mine yet.

Hey AkaSigFreak, I didn't mean to ignore your post at all. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, as I had hoped to get more responses and thank all for posting at the end.

Anyway, hope the air is clear and I thank you too for your valued comments.

I ordered the exact spoiler from formymercedes.com and it was paint matched perfectly. It was fairly easy to install and it looks great! Best $300 I have spent in a while!

HIGHLY recommend.

*although I don't see it listed on the website now...

I ordered the spoiler from them about 2 month ago. The quality is very good. The install does not require any drilling, only 3M double-sided tape. Here is link to my post with some pictures:

I recieved mine today from ForMyMercedez.com it took 3 days to get here. I will tell you one thing, make sure you have it exactly where you want it because once you set it, it is nearly impossible to get off or move. I will post pics this weekend. Forgot to mention the customer service at ForMyMercedez.com is second to none.

Spoilers look great. I think that's what I'm ordering as soon as I get my springs on.

I hope the red matches exactly.

I got my spoiler

The spoiler came in today and i already installed it but im going to let it set overnight so my picture still has the masking tape on it to keep on the pressure. the color matches perfectly and the spoiler sits like OEM. I'm happy i got them. i will post final pictures tomorrow or when i get a chance. below are the "pre" pictures incase anyone wanted to see how the spoiler looks before its installed.

Savage c-300, that rear spoiler looks great! Thanks to all that responded to my inquiry. Will be calling Jerry before this weekend to order the spoiler and other stuff.
