this may be a stupid question, but does the tape stick immediately? if i put it down can i wiggle it around for a few seconds or anything before it sticks for good without ruining the tape?
i'm afraid ill stick it on imperfect and want to adjust it since i have to do this install solo

You can use windex to give you some wiggle, but the best way to do it is to slow peal the tape as you lay it out, and not just untape the whole thing to lay it out at once. You want as little exposed tape as possible as you work.

hard to visualize

Okay First you do is check your spoiler if it fits perfectly put it on the glass and move it around then when you know you got the right measurements and fit then basically you take one end of the spoiler peel it about like a inch or two. Place the spoiler so it is aligned with the edge of the glass while you stick one side start peel some more until you get to the end. If you screw up during peeling you can lift up and adjust i recommend to take your time and it should be no errors it has to be "One Shot" type of install. Good Luck

um. i don't think it really does anything. just somethin to add on your car. some say it make the rear look wider and covers the wheel/tire if you have super wide tire. I saw it on a SLK55 once. doesn't look bad.
don't know how it will look on C class. I wouldn't buy them, but since they are free....

Are you guys going to cover up the gap between the window and the roof line or leaving that gap alone?

I may not be getting mine. Brad says they had a problem with the CF and he was going to try something else. He asked if I wanted to switch to painted and my reply was no CF or nothing.

did you guys noticed that the RED car has a RED painted roof spoiler after the Pano roof? it doesn't look too bad.

so... Pano roof doesn't neccessary need to have black roof spoiler.
on the contrary, i think a painted (body matching color) roof spoiler may look better and stand out more.
