Spoiler advice needed
I'm looking for a factory style trunk spoiler for my 2012 Polar White C300 Sport sedan. I want one that is pre-painted. Can anyone tell me where to get one that is of good quality and matches the paint? Or, for that matter, ones to avoid. Thanks.

jbspeed.com is a high quality supplier, has painted spoilers, and is a forum sponsor. Mine came as a perfect match.

P.S. Don't rely just on sticky tape to hold on a spoiler. Use a bead of urethane to make it much more secure for the safety of those driving behind you.

Picture of JB Speed spoiler on my white Benz. The double sided tape is fine but I did not use the tape provided and opted for 3M tape that I bought myself. The only thing I am wondering is if the clear coat will hold up for the long term. Overall 9 out of 10.

cheers,

Can also vouch for JBSpeed. Got both a roof and trunk spoiler from him and they look great.

I really liked the AMG style painted spoiler I purchased from PROSIMPORT on eBay. It was $120 including paint and shipping. I had it installed by a local body shop tech during is lunch hour for $20! Paint matched and all is good so far. The mounting tape and extra glue was included but did not include installation instructions.

I will attest to using a urethane bead with the 3M tape. I found this thread looking to replace my Brabus CF roof spoiler! It let loose on me last Saturday and creamed the car behind me

Exactly! Imagine if the airflow happened to carry it through the windshield ....do you really want to be on the wrong end of Estate of Joe Doe v. You?

I've heard too many people blow this off and say the tape works fine....Yes, it works fine...until it doesn't.
