Hi everyone, just wanted to share my latest mod with the rest of the forum.
As many of you have seen, Uniq Carbon recently posted a group buy for their Uniq Carbon RS CF Spoilers... after seeing the design doing some research on the company, I decided to shoot them a PM here on mbworld. They are based out of Vancouver and are themselves car enthusiasts, just like the rest of us. I'm always a sucker for new start-ups with a real passion for their cause -- it almost always means quality work. After a few quick PM exchanges with Andy @ Uniq Carbon, they promptly shipped me the spoiler. From date of order to delivery was 5 days (including weekend!!)... and that's from Vancouver to Texas (had to clear customs as well).
The spoiler was really well packaged to ensure no damage in delivery (although the box took a beating en route haha)
Pics of the spoiler:
Installation was pretty standard... removed the old spoiler with a heat gun and fishing line... then apply 3M double-sided tape (not included) around the sides of the spoiler and secure in place.
Installed photos:
The carbon fiber itself is really high quality, ZERO imperfections, the finish is silky smooth and glossy, and the fitment is perfect!! I'm loving the new spoiler... and the wife (who is much more aesthetically competent than I am) thinks it looks great too Thanks again to Andy and Uniq Carbon for a great experience.
Nice mate!!! Did you get your diffuser from them too

Thanks guys! The diffuser is actually through a different distributor -- Uniq Carbon doesn't offer this style as a diffuser for the w205.. I believe they have the Brabus style diffuser and the GTC style diffuser. I'm saving up now for a few more carbon bits from Uniq Carbon =P
as far as sticking way out ?...... Its a bit decieving in that its wider than what you have and most of it lays on top of the trunk lid . It does hang out the back but not all that much as it kicks up through the center . The body of the car is long so the spoiler doesn't look too overpowering ( The angle I took makes it appear longer ). I think because my car is silver it stands out more than on the black one hence the reason I thought of painting it body colour but the carbon looks really nice on its own .

yeah its the angle of the photo. Do you have another picture/different angle? Am very much interested with the spoiler. My car is palladium silver a bit darker than your car
Is this spoiler heavy? I'm wondering if it contains resin, sorry that I have this doubt, first thing is the price is not high for 100% carbon fiber, second thing is that most carbon fiber pieces I have found so far are made of fiber glass with the laminated carbon fiber as top layer. I got a $1187 CAD brabus front lip from YomatoCarbon which is a Canadian company located in Montreal, they claimed it's genuine carbon fiber until the lip is easily destroyed by a bump, and the inside turns out to be fiber glass, I also got a trunk spoiler for $120 CAD from JBSpeeds for my previous C300, that thing is also fiber glass cuz it's way too heavier than I've imagined

I'm glad you asked this question. Some products we carry are in fact FRP wrapped in carbon due to the molding process. However, the majority of our products are made with 100% premium carbon fiber. Combined with our specially formulated resin and our vacuuming process, we are able to deliver premium quality at an approachable price point. After our products have cured, we protect it with a clear coat layer to ensure protection from UV rays and scratches. In the case of the RS style spoiler, the spoiler is made out of 100% carbon fiber with no fiber glass. You can rest assure you are getting a premium product. As car enthusiasts ourselves we strive to other enthusiasts the quality and protection they deserve as our cars have a special place in our hearts. Please contact us if you have any more questions and we are happy to answer you!
and mine with their spoiler ...I'm actually thinking about painting it body colour so its a bit more subtle
You know what I would recommend... Get it painted body color, BUT have it FADED to just the bare CF as it goes to the back of the spoiler.. Would look sick...
