Hey CLK family--I just got my trunk spoiler installed yesterday and I must admit that I am 100% satisfied with the overall style...not too tall but just clean (reminds me of the M3 trunk spoiler)

(I will post some pix--by this weekend--it's raining here in Cali so I gotta wait)

I kept going back and forth with the idea of adding the trunk spoiler, but finally pulled the trigger....I got a great deal!! I spent under $300. for a custom made spoiler, fitted, primed and painted, then installed!!! Theres a place in Southern California (Newport Beach/Costa Mesa area) called Wet Works Garage...great install...

they do a lot of body & paint work for all cars...

Like I said, I'll post some pix later this weekend....

How does it compare to this one at formymercedes.com for $289 painted? I purchased a factory spoiler from a group by several years ago and installation was very easy with double sided super sticky tape.

I checked into theirs as well, but my final decision was based on the 'lower rise' of the spoiler (with Wet works Garage)...The spoiler @ formymercedes was a little too high for my taste...don't get me wrong, they both make nice spoilers, but I wanted to go with a clean and low spoiler...I feel that the one I got is really close to the M3 spoiler--very subtle but adds to the car...

Any idea which one is more like (or exactly like) the factory CLK55 spoiler ?

The one from formymercedes.com is probably closer to stock since LB went with a custom one. Formymercedes is a great site. I've done business with them and they are on point.

Ok...the weather cleared up a little...

as you can see, the trunk spoiler is not too tall...just enough to give me an extra look at the back...

I paid $225--since I brought my car there, I didn't have to pay an extra $15. for shipping...

LB Bnz

there is no problem with these lips, detaching from the car, cuz its just tape right? Seems like it wouldnt say on great with just tape. What do u guys think?

I thought of the same thing...after doing research on spoilers (BMW, MBenz, Audi) I was informed that a high percentage of the spoilers were installed with 3M double sided tape...

After mine was installed, I think I waited about 30 mins before I drove home--I jumped on the freeway as well--got home and the spoiler was still there...the next day it rained and I drove the car--still no problem. I feel the tightness of the spoiler on the trunk each time I finish a drive and it is secure.
