sounds like your infactuated with the S class. basically if you move from any car to the S there is a MAJOR difference in the ride.

Just open the trunk and there are about 4 bolts that holds them on. No need to take off the bumper. For the spoiler check this site http://www.formymercedes.com/mb.asp

Good luck with the car.

I have a 91 Legend sedan and my mom has a 01 S430. I would say it's more luxurious, but I prefer driving Legend since I'm use to it. The things that bother me about the S is the horrible navigation and the reliability of the car.
