A good supplier and forum sponsor.

Also, on behalf of all the folks who will drive behind you on the highway, don't rely just on the double stick tape. A bead of urethane alongside the tape, taped down (blue tape works well) for the day, will be far more secure...just be sure you have the spoiler positioned properly...it will be in that position for a l-o-n-g time!

If by 3M you mean a urethane product, I'm sure that's fine. Other folks seem to think 3M tape is enough, but there have been far too many failures and loose parts reported to reasonably rely on just that, considering the consequences of failure.

As to diffuser, lots of subjective opinions on design. I like the style and quality from Euroteck as shown on the photo above.

The color code for getting the spoiler painted is somewhere in the drivers door jam right?

Also I love those wheels, but I've had bad balance issues with look alike wheels in the past. Do those give you much problem Sportstick?

Color code is on the white on black label on the b-pillar when you open the driver's door. It's the label which shows where the car was assembled. Toward the top right is a code starting with a "C", such as C792 in my case for Palladium. This is followed by the month and year of final assembly.

No problem with either set of wheels...one for the C and one set for our E. There are many aftermarket suppliers...and quality varies. You should look for wheels produced in facilities which are JWL/TUV approved, such as these, and these stampings will be on the wheels.

Tanks for the info. I can't decide if I want to hunt down some real AMG branded wheels in that style or save a ton and get those. And I really want to make the jump on a jb speed spoiler but I think saving for the wheels would give a better overal impact to the car for the money.
