Car King Tuning. I once organized a group buy for the trunk and lip spoiler. we are all happy with the parts. and the price is pretty good.
I think you can get the trunk spoiler painted and shipped for around $170. if you want his info, PM me.

Ahh. Witness. Jerry told me I fall into the category of impossible to please. I told him if he states it's an OE replica, as he did when I called, then it should be a replica. He was a bit rude. I couldn't believe it because so many people have had good experiences with him. He also charged for expedited shipping. He refunded the money when he was informed that it didn't make on time, but when I got the box, I noticed the the stamp said it was just under $13.00.

The edges peeled up, had to re-apply the tape, there were 2 spots where they missed the paint, the edges weren't very sharp, and the fitment was off.
I ended up getting the OEM trunk lip spoiler and had it installed by the dealer, and let me tell you, after having owned both, the OEM one is MUCH MUCH better. The lines are sharper and smoother, the fitment is PERFECT, and there's even an extra detail that the replica's don't have (a line across the top portion).

I also got mine from car-king tuning and threw it out. It's a piece of junk.

I also had one from Carking. It was terrible. It didn't look like Aowhaus' though.
I'm buying an OE spoiler as well. The edge across the top that you mention is exactly what is missing from the formymercedes version. The Carking unit was the same and just way too wrong in too many ways.
The ones listed on ebay all show the spoiler on cars that come with them from the factory. Avoid them. Formymerc shows his actual spoiler in his ad, but it is difficult to see the lack of edge on top. Don't misunderstand, Formymerc's is a high quality unit, it's just not an OE replica.

ha ha, why did you throw it out? I would have taken it! JK.
well..... i have to say, it's replica. I got my roof spoiler from them. they are not 100%, but at least to me they are about 99% good. For the price you paid, you can't complain. for a OEM spoiler painted, you are looking to pay at least double the price.
Perhaps you are the unlucky one to et the 1 bad one out of the 100 they make. sorry.

Anyone know how much the Carlsson or Brabus spoilers cost? I went to the Carlsson website but they don't have pricing on anything...
BTW - I saw a Carlsson version of a C350 at my dealership when I went in to have them look at my GPS (wrong position, no luck on why yet). It had really cool rims, the quad exhaust set up, and spoiler. Didn't seem like much else was changed, but I think the "Carlsson Package" tacked on about $12k. I'm assuming there was some sort of tuning involved but I don't know.

Brabus spoiler is $795 unpainted. Part number 204-450-00. They charge $225 to paint or you can just take care of the painting yourself.

YOu can also get the 3 pieces Brabus trunk spoiler from Car King Tuning. I think people need to just go on ebay to check out the customer feedback.
you can spend $400 buying an OEM trunk spoiler and still get a bad part. Just like there is lemon C class out there. The good thing about buying from dealer is that if it's not PERFECT, you can take it back immediately. With Ebay, you will have to deal with shipping and trying to get a replacement or refund.
I've gotten 3 spoilers from Ebay before and happy with all 3 of them. I think you just gotta find a reputable seller with positive feedback, at least 98%. I am willing to take that 2% chance and spend half of the price.

I bought mine on eBay from Car King Tuning a months before the group buy happened. Sounds like they were offering a different spoiler than mine.
Too bad to hear that the quality was bad. I'm very happy with mine and for $199 painted and shipped, I think I got a great deal.

For me, it became a time issue and money lost in shipping a part back. And, I studied the feedbacks and and most were for aftermarket BMW parts. There were no claims of being OE replicas. Maybe carking is selling something different now, but but the spoiler I got was an insult. As I stated previously, they advertise the spoiler as if they are OE replicas. It's just plain bad business to to that when the product, once you get it, is clearly different than OE.
