So I messaged the ebay seller, he said that it only fits a coupe, not a convertible, so I looked into it. It appears that the non-Studio package 53 coupe has a very small spoiler but the studio package spoiler on the Coupe is larger. However, on the Convertible, it appears that the spoilers are the same size with the Studio package spoiler just being black instead of body color, but not any difference in size.
In the picture, non-Studio on the left, Studio on the right.
ah damn i forgot you have the CV! - you seen any other options?

Just this one https://maxtondesignusa.net/collecti...-amg-line-c236 but it's too extreme for me I think.
The place that sells the front splitter posted above has a carbon fiber rear spoiler that looks like it's like the Studio package but it's very expensive, and everything on my car is gloss black, so carbon fiber wouldn't match.

Ahh gotcha! I'm not a huge fan of that spoiler either. Prefer the studio package one.
These were purchased from Mercitel. I believe the bumper needs to be removed to secure the top rivet. Maybe you can take the tray off underneath and access that area but i haven't pulled the front apart. I attached it temporarily with HD 2 sided tape to get a view on what it will look like installed and there is no way I would trust that only for security. The mounting holes for the lip are simply not there so better to do it with the bumper off IMO.
Quick snaps with the 2 sided tape. I immediately removed it after.
Yes, I installed it myself. It needs 5 or 6 screws on the bottom and 2 or 3 screws on the vertical part. The bottom was very easy, but in order to screw the vertical parts in you have to drill holes and you have no idea where to drill. Once the bottom is securely screwed in, the vertical parts stay in place for the most part, I used some 3M tape and it appears to be pretty solid, so far anyway.

So there were already predrilled holes at the bottom of the car? I'm thinking about doing this myself too

No, I just used a combo of 3M tape and blue painters tape to hold it in place, then used self tapping screws and with a drill/impact driver pushed a bit while screwing them in and they make their own hole. Just be careful not to overtighten them as it's just the "plastic" bumper cover you're screwing them into.
Installed the front spoiler "flaps" from the Performance Studio package. Subtle but I think it looks good.
This looks great, maybe sometime this year I'll get to adding mine 😁. I also have the rear blades, did you do those also? They seem to be more of a pain in the *** to install.

I am thinking about getting the rear "blades", they are about $225 with shipping. I don't quite get how they screw in but maybe if I had them in front of me it would be more apparent.

Ya, I got these when I got my from spoilers and haven't installed them either 🙄 I test for them and I think you need to take the bumper off also to get them to stay. Probably a huge pain. Maybe I'll try tomorrow.
