I`m a newbe here. I have a Artic White 2009 C300 Sport 4 Matic, I`ve made a few modest mods and looking to do much more. First I`m going to install a trunk lip and roof spoiler and looking for parts and places to buy.

I`ve looked on Ebay, PVC, Polyurthane and Fiberglass looks to be the materials these spoilers are made of, Whats the recomendation, which is the best material or what not to buy? What looks and holds up the best? Are any of these products from China any good?

Other than Ebay are there internet places to purchase good quality parts?

I have a JBSpeed rear deck spoiler and BMWCHOP roof spoiler and both are great quality and matched the paint extremely well.

jcash60

Thanks for your response. I looked up BMWCHOP on Ebay. What color paint do you have? Looks like you`re happy with the paint they did.

I also read that there may be import fees, when you ordered yours did you pay any fees? If so how much were they? Did the shipping take a long time? It`s the first time I ever order from China so a bit concerned on the outcome. Thanks Jim

My paint color is Palladium. Both spoilers have excellent color match, but in my obsessive-compulsive (re)examination(s), JBSpeed was slightly more exact. 99 of 100 people would say both are perfect, however. There were no additional fees. Shipping took about a week. I would use either/both sellers again, depending on pricing. It's easier than you are worried about.

I got mine from JBSPEED too. Palladium Silver as well =P

Good taste knows no boundries!!

Royce118

Haha I reckon mate!

Yea Palladium was my second choice but my last 5 cars were silver and was in for a change back to white. I have had 5 Mercedes in white so now it`s 6. Does JMspeed sell on ebay or do they have a USA store? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks Jim

Thanks again!!! You`re a treasuretrobe of info. I see you have many mods that I`ll be doing. Jim

Royce118

No worries man. That is what forums are for anyway. Well next mod list would be lowering kits and the LED DRLs. Gotta wait till budget is here =[

Niti24

Royce, what kind of DRL's are you getting?? Im looking into it too but I got nothing so far. Are you looking to get the w212 fog lights as well?

jcash60

Yep, I`ll be doing lowering soon, H&R and Eibach have been what I`ve been looking at, just yesterday I saw B&G suspension, they have lowering springs for 4MATIC`s. I don`t know anything about B&G so I`ll have to do some research, they are about $288 a set. I`am having some trouble finding more info, maybe some here have some experience. I`m not looking to destroy the ride though. Jim

I'm still not too sure whether I'm getting the 2011 Facelifted version ones for the w204 or the Hockey stick ones from the W212. I saw the W204 version here in Melbourne that day and to be honest they look freaking awesome and are very bright.

H&R and Eibach are what most of us here are looking at. There are 2 versions for the H&R that are the sports and supersports. I'm still debating between the sports and supersports myself as well. Oh well... I think the H&Rs would work on your 4matic. It has been done.
