CLK63 Black Series
Or the easiest way to remove it is to use DENTAL FLOSS. Then the clean up of the adhesive is pretty straight forward.

btw, I've got a question for OP. Does the Vorsteiner product come with pre-cut tape or do you have to DIY this part?

The easiest way is not cleaning it, it is the eraser wheel. Never again would I do it any other way. Mac sells good ones.

_timothy, sweet stuff. the Vorsteiner diffuser is so sweet

did you get the complete set?

As for the spoiler, I took the easy way out and took it to my local shop... guy charged me 20 bucks cash lol... I thought it was worth the money to save my fingers

thanks right now i have the spoiler on hand and diffuser on order. was about to buy a front lip but looks like i missed my opportunity at a good price. might have to get somewhere else. other things on the way are a full AP header/valvetronic exhaust and forgestar CF10. a "maybe" is a replacement CF trim interior replacement and then i promised myself i would stop....
