Found Someone Cheap On Craigslist for AMG trunk Spoiler and Roof Spoiler

like the title says i found someone on craigslist selling the spoilers for cheap, he's asking 50 for the roof spoiler and 55 for the trunk spoiler, or 85 for both,

he said they are not painted but are ready for paint and are the same material as original and exact same dimensions, basically a replica.

he said he uses it on his own car

I also asked him where he gets them from, he said wholesale from china....

what should i be looking for? it seems to good to be true to me

does anyone have any input for me? thanks

ask him for a picture of it applied on his car with him next to it holding today's paper and wearing flava flav's clock around his neck. One thumb up, one thumb down.

But with all seriousness, at worst it could be another scam. If he got them wholesale from China he should have a slightly more legitimate storefront than craigslist, no?

If this is legit, I will jump on it with you since he did mention he bought them wholesale (so he should have more).

he sent me pictures of his car already, he also sells replica c 63 grills, i'm picking them up from him he's not shipping them it can't be a scam. i just remember reading somewhere that the paint on the cheap spoilers turn yellow after a couple months but if you go to a good body shop i don't see what the problem is

With a good primer and paint job i can't see what could possibly go wrong other than it not fitting.

Since you are so close, you should be our test mule.

Get it! Put it on! and then get back to us with pics ASAP and maybe a few us will ask him to ship them to us. The trunk spoiler alone shouldn't be too heavy right??

Will do.

I think that shipping would be expensive just because of the size

when you have it in your hand just go and test fit it on your car and make sure the ends touch the ends of the trunk and with the roof spoiler measure by the window so the spoiler occupy the whole window not the gap between window and body.
