Lorinser makes a classy one; very simple, but expensive ( $750) for what you get. Sorry I couldnt load link..... just google it. I think you also have to paint it.

I agree the Lorinser is the nicest I have seen but the price is what kills you on such a small little piece.

check out my post under SL pictures thread. I have the Lorinser trunk spoiler. It was around $1200 painted and installed. It's fiberglass, had to be sanded too because it came slightly warped, not a very snug fit without some finishing.

I looked at them all, with a price no object attitude, and my opinion is the $300 one from performance products is better than any of them. it fits the car perfectly.. while the others kind of jut out..

I just went to see the performance products rear spoiler for the SL,... it's actually a wing desing. here is the link:

if that link does not work try this one then click on the picture of the SL:

Not sure I like that look... too much. The small spoiler is a cleaner look in my opinion.

OK just stumbled onto something u might be interested in. I found a website JLEVISW.COM , 1-888-jlevisw, a sponser of this forum and found out two things. First Lorinser is having some distibuter problems right now and there is not alot of availability, however they sell an exact fiberglass replica that they will send to your door painted for get this $340.00. I just ordered one Gluck

10 minutes? you are good! My guy took forever but he got it on level. I saw another friend's car whose spoiler was slightly off (the left side was lower than the right)... sucks! cant pull off the tape to redo...
