ebay spoiler...
So I got the ebay spoiler, the one with peel-n-stick tape, and although I installed it pretty nicely, there's still a slight reveal where you can see the tape (it doesn't sit perfectly flush). Is this pretty standard? If I took it to a body shop and had them install it what method would they use? What do you think it would run?

Hmmm... I pushed pretty hard -- does the tape melt over time in the sun? The "reveal" that I'm talking about is the thickness of the tape.
I'm thinking about taking a blow-dryer or some sort of heat-gun to it while pressing down to melt the tape so it's not as thick.

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
I ordered an eBay spoiler and sent it back to Taiwan. The tape was too close to the edges and the side edges of the soiler were not angled like the OE version eventhough the listing showed a C63. As I stated in his feedback, "never again." This is an item I would not buy before seeing in person. Well, there is one. The formymercedes version get great reviews from forum members.
