There's a few sets on eBay right now. They make a huge difference, IMO. Also, don't forget to upgrade the 3rd brake light to the clear/smoked one while you're at it.

One of the best things I did to mine.

Yes, a definite upgrade! I did this when I had my SL500 in 2006.....had I known I was going to get a SL55 a couple years later I would have taken the upgraded stuff before I sold the car and kept it.

Benz o rama.....where is that rear lip spoiler from? How is the fitment? I have seen some on Ebay but I've heard from some people on here that it doesn't fit real well and comes up towards the ends.

Both the front and rear carbon fiber spoilers are from Gary@Suvneer. The fitment for the front was spot-on, but the first rear one was warped. I told him about it, and he shipped me another one that very same day and didn't ask for proof, pictures, or for me to return the old one. I ended up just tossing it. They replacement one he sent me was much better, but still not 100% like the front.

I had a body shop put the second one on, and they were able to use really good 3M tape and heat to get it on there real well. Baked the car in the oven, after they installed it, and it's been perfect ever since.
