New to the forum! Need advice on a couple of mods.

Hey guys. Just joined the forum, seems like a great place

I bought a used Steel Gray 2008 C300 4Matic in April. Love the car and will eventually post pics.
So far its been debadged, has tints and a trunk spoiler.

I want to put on a roof spoiler, clear side markers, and install the x-pipe.
couple of questions:

Which roof spoiler would you recommend? Are all of them the same?
Where to buy it?

Thanks.

Don't know if all are the same, as I only bought one, but I tend to believe there are variations in part and paint quality from comments I've read here. I am happy with everything in my signature list below.

Specdavis, thanks, you have a beautiful car.

Sportstick, can you post pics of your car? Or do you have them in a thread already? Thanks

Nothing recent with the roof spoiler, so I will try to snap a few today if the promised rain doesn't show up!

Would like to see the steel grey with tints

I would suggest a supporting dealer on this forum for the spoiler.

No, it's a look-alike sold by Performance Products for about $800. It is the same diameter rim as the stock wheel, because it's made from the OE rim in Germany. They make it in 3 and 4 spoke models and it has a nice thick section, well contoured to the hand, and feels great to hold. The advantage is that you can re-use the air bag and the whole install is about 5 minutes. With a C63 rim, you get an approximate 1" smaller diameter, but for that inch, you pay about another $700 for a new smaller air bag center hub, and, for me, would lose sight of even more of the gauges. I am absolutely delighted with this wheel!!
