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?

That means you didn't press it hard enough and held it in place for it to stick flush with the trunk. It's honestly easier with two people but I did it on my own and mine looks slightly sloppy. I'm thinking of taking it off and redoing it.

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.

Sounds like a design issue with the spoiler. It would be better to have a slight recess where the tape goes so that it will sit mor flush with the trunk.

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.
