I just saw a thread where someone said they bought some Chinese replica and ended up buying the real thing because the replica was a piece of crap.

might as well get the oem amg spoiler for a little more $. fits and looks much better than the replica i originally ordered. it comes pre-painted (the replica was only painted on the top and sides). also, it comes with tape already applied. but most importantly, the finiish is so much better. its not wavy like the replica. parts.com has them for $391 + shipping. i ordered from getmercedesparts.com for $427 + $8 shipping.

Well, my email had a problem last night, and I didn't know I got replies.
I order it last night based on the Ebay feedback of a lot of BMW and a few MB guys who got painted spoiler from this seller.
I wouldn't put anything that does not look OEM or high quality on my car.
I'll report back once I get it.
I did get a replica from SpoilerDepot through ebay for Lexus GS400 before, and it was very high quality. It was $160 instead of $800 from dealer.
I thought the spoiler from formymercedes.com was also replica. Isn't the OEM one at least $600+?

DrDrilz,
Is the picture OEM or replica from formymercedes?
It looks good btw. I'll compare when I get the Ebay one.
The one at getmercedesparts.com is not AMG style (probably not OEM) and $444.

It does not look good.

when you get the ebay part, test fit it outdoors in daylight and look down the spoiler at an angle and see if it is wavy and lumpy like mine was. im interested to know how the ebay spoiler compares to the others for sale around here. thanks.

I finally got the OEM E63 AMG trunk lip spoiler.
The fitment is perfect.
I installed it last night, and there is small gap between the car and the spoiler. The size of the gap is basically same as the thickness of the 3M tape (1 mm).
I don't know if others have same issue.
I'm not sure if the factory installed ones would have the same gap; probably not.
Because the tape is on both top and rear side, it wasn't really possible to press it once the tape sticks to the car.

If anyone is considering the trunk lip as a DIY...ck out this thread from "Zoomie" in which he details one method of installation (thanx, Zoomie). http://www.mymbonline.com/forum/view...dff7e12e9f9a60
The method I used was to dry-fit and apply painter's tape to the trunk AND the lip at different locations. I drew vertical lines on the tape that I could use later as reference points to assure proper location during application.
I stripped the wax from the trunk.
Then I sprayed the trunk's paint with a mixture of windex & water.
I peeled the backing off the adhesive tape.
Then I put the lip onto the wet trunk and lined up the pen parks.
Now, the hard part: hold the lip in place until the windex/water dries. When that's done, the trunk lip is set. Just make sure that all parts of the lip are pressed onto the trunk so that all of the adhesive tape grabs the paint.
If you're careful, your DIY will appear as if the dealer/body shop did it.
Also, my aftermarket/replica trunk lip from ForMyMercedes.com is flawless.

I got mine from ForMyMercedes.com, used windex... was so damn easy and I can't do a thing when it comes to cars. Yes the hard part is putting it on then you have seconds to lien it up then PRESS DOWN evently so it drys right. Always buy from ForMyMercedes.com.

After 4 days of rain, I had a change to wash the car today.
The Lip spoiler was installed the other day, and I installed plate frame and trunk handle. I actually like this trunk handle a lot - functional and looks good.
Thanks to everyone who provided tips, especially to DrDrilz.
I couldn't find my camera so they are from cell phone.
