Trunk spoilers

Anyone have experience with any of these ebay trunk spoilers? Price is great, but hows the quality, fit/finish?

I know I know, you get what you pay for, but really, is there much difference from a Brabus spoiler at $1000 to one thats under $100?

Brabus doesn't fly off while the others do......

Actually, I've been wondering the same question...!?!?!

Fitment is pretty precise... Some of the retailers sell A class replicas with AMG or Brabus part #'s etc printed on the replica spoiler. The paint quality is average... not the greatest but not bad = = Hope that helps!

They are pretty good. It is actually slightly smaller than the original AMG version spoiler. I didn't notice that until I parked next to one. Easy to put on. If you were local you can have mine (it Diamond White) because I just brought an L-Shape spoiler. You can search my old post for pictures with the old spoiler.

Thanks for the feedback guys, and AP, thanks for the offer, I'll take you up on it.

But how much is the difference between the 2? You said the new onw you got is an L shape? Can you post up some pics of the difference?

Thanks.

I have been on the fence on these things also. I dont want to put some cheap piece of plastic on my car and hate fit/finish. But then again, I would also hate to shell out hundreds of dollars and be unhappy with that too. ARGH

L-Shaped spoiler is bigger/wider than the AMG. It looks like the Brabus. You can have mine but repainting it will cost you the same if you just order straight from them painted. I bought it 2 years ago and cost me $80 shipped from Taiwan. Quality is great, can't complain.

sorry no time to take pictures. but hopefully these 2 old pics gives you an idea. Or you can do a search for L-Shaped spoiler for Mercedes CLS.

So I decided to buy one. I got it for $69 shiped to my door. The fit is great and the paint match was exact. (Obsidian black metallic). For the price, I was expecting a piece of crap, but I am definitely happy with it. Once I wash my car, I will post some pics.
