Trunk lid spoiler?

Is there more than one type of trunk lid spoiler?
My wife put a small dent in the trunk lid about 1/2 inch from the back edge.
So I figured a spoiler would cover it cheaper than fixing it.

OK, looks like the AMG style is the way to go?
Just under $100 on ebay painted to match.


Anyone with any advice?

I just bought one (painted) and haven't had a chance to install it. Will do that in the next couple of days. The paint finish looks good.

Too many german broads
I bought mine on eBay a while back for like 80 bucks and it came painted. BUT I would have it professionally painted because the cheap paint they use will fade quickly.. especially in FL!

IS it the AMG style?


If so, how much of the trunk lid does it cover?

I want to make sure it actually covers the dent.

Jay, you might wanna post a pic of the dent to make it easier for others to tell. with the AMG style, i reckon itll cover half an inch on the top and half an inch on the back.

It is between 1/2 and 3/4 an inch from the back edge, but you lose about 1/4 inch if you consider where the trunk becomes flat.


I tried to line up the measure with the vertical plane of the trunk lid.

The middle pic is from the rear at about 45 deg.
I think you are looking at the Metic side?
