I am assuming the $650 is including paint work to your trunk.

 

Yes 650 is to take out the dent, repaint to match, remove old and install new spoiler. Anybody want to buy a cheap stock CF spoiler with minimal damage as a project?

 

Here is itemized estimate via iPhone...

Left qtr panel blend refinish...2.4 hrs
Rear deck lid repair and refinish....5.6 hrs
Replace spoiler....0.5 hrs
Taillamp assembly....0.3 hrs
2 panel polish...$60
Flex additive....$8
Hazardous waste disposal....$6
Parts and material......$204

Total....$689

(I haven't checked the math)

 

Hey, if you are going the new route, have you considered purchasing the item from www.parts.com I believe it's $1750

The difference you save you can cover all of your labor. Just an idea, but to each his own.

It's weird because the rear lower diffuser is only $900 or so off parts.com. I don't understand mb pricing at times, it just doesn't make sense.

 

I think im going with the TTM motorsports unit. Its a no brainer.

 

Should be easy to sell the old one in a CLK forum. The reason they are always on back order from the dealer is that they are made on a per request basis. I went though this before with other people trying to purchase CF items from a BS.

 

If you end up getting a new spoiler through your dealer hammer on them to get that price on the spoiler down. When I was going back and forth with my dealer over my spoiler they originally told me they would split the charge of the spoiler at their cost. Don't quote me on this since it was over 8 months ago but I believe they told me half the cost would be $800. Of course I didn't settle for that and fought the long battle and ended up getting it covered since it was a defect covered under warranty. Since dealer cost is around $1600 (what I'm assuming based off what the dealer told me) I'm sure there is some wiggle room.

 

A few posts up I mentioned I'm getting an aftermarket wing and selling my current wing to whoever wants to fix it up.....pending the dealer removing it without any further damage.

 

Maybe the CLK owner who tried to pry your spoiler off, will buy it when you put it up for sale..!

 

I got a BS spoiler on mine Clk. Could it be...........

 

Your new spoiler is on its way!

Thanks Todd.

 

I don't know many meth heads that own CLK's... First catalytic convertors, then wrangler doors, and now CLK BS spoilers, what's the world coming too!

 

here is one picture of my DTM wing, not hte best angle but it gives a bit of an idea (the car is doing a marketing event for a motor magazine here in australia which explains all the temporary stickers

 

New spoiler is in the mail and should be installed this week. Wondering what the old one is worth. I dont want to get rich but i dont want to give it away either. I have a few people interested but dont know what direction to go. How much did the undamaged one that was for sale recently go for?

 

If you figure that it would cost 2-300 to fix and the old one went for about $800. Thinking 4-500 for inconvenience factor.

 

update.....wing arrived and the car was dropped off today.
