I purchsed mine from factory2all (the cheaper of the two). I'll try to snap some pics tonight after I give the car a quick bath. The spoiler is nice fiberglass wrapped in CF the weave is very nice and it looks good on my black 300. Took my wife a week to notice it (she is not very observent).

About 6-8 days. Honestly came quicker than I thought it would.

I bought a similar one on ebay as well, for even cheaper, the weave and all is really nice, but the spoiler wasn't a perfect fit, had to re-fit it twice to get it right, and even so its still not "perfect"

but thats what I get for buying cheap replicas I guess

Mine took about a week. I am very happy with the fit, the only thing is now the trunk area near the license plate now gets dirtier. Aerodynamics at work.

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
I bought, what I thought was a replica of the factory spoiler because the pic showed a C63. It was way off. The mounting angle was wrong and it was wavy looking. I just got authorization to return it to Taiwan today. Basically I will end up paying $100 for shipment here and back with no product to show for it. I didn't get CF, but I will never buy a part like this from eBay again. These guys never have good photos. I think there is a reason for that. I am glad Micropower had good luck, but I am finished with it.

Yea I think only the CF ones are good to buy on ebay, otherwise the OEM ones I dunno I just wouldn't trust. Are you going to buy one from the dealership?

It is incredable how fast black gathers dust. I had just finished washing her and ran a diaper across the whole trunk area prior to taking the pics and there is still dust.

Ron Jr...nice. It looks like an OE replica in shape.

Micropower, if I do get one, I am going to formymercedes.com. Everyone seems to like them.

No. Sorry. I meant the painted version. Micro and I have talked about this before, so I wasn't thinking.

Yea I keep hearing good things at formymercedes.com. I'm thinking of ordering my chrome or aluminum door pins from there. Derspeed I'm sure you'll get a great spoiler from them. You thinking of going through them for sure?
