Guys running a carbon fiber rear spoiler....where did you get yours?
I just purchased one from a sponsor on here. The finish was poor and the fitment was horrible. To their credit, they agreed on all points and refunded my purchase.
I know there's a few of you on here with one. So my questions are:
1. Where?
2. How much?
3. Are you satisfied with fit and finish?
4. Would you recommend the same for me?

1.) AMG Performance Studio
2.) Retail is ~$2000
3.) Unbelievably high-quality in both fit and finish... that's what you get when you buy from AMG Performance Studio
4.) Without hesitation
I was running an OEM SL63 spoiler and this winter made the move to a CF one after doing the DCT motorsports interior/steering wheel conversion. The new piece from the Performance Studio is just amazing... even if it is just a trunk lip.
I don't have pictures of it on my car, yet.

Wow Marcus! That's a lot of coin for a thin rear spoiler. Baller.
I'm looking for something considerably cheaper.

Revozport...quality product...more expensive than the stuff off ebay but worth it...not to have bends or waves on the spoiler.
I have no sense of cost after paying for it (i.e. once I spend it I usually don't remember the specifics of the transaction) so I'd have to search for emails from them...but I think it was around $500.
PS...I gave up on 3M tape...I've had all my spoilers permanently glued on (it just looks better that way to me). You can still take it off but there is a chance the spoiler will be damaged.

Just wondering did your spoiler fit flush over the 3rd brake light bc the one i bought off another member has a big gap between the spoiler and the 3rd brake light. formymercedes.com maybe?

I wonder how your body shop got it to stick. Even when you push it down to make contact, the 3m tape doesn't even touch the trunk. It's horribly mis-shaped.

They most likely applied a heat gun & weight, massaging it into submission so to speak... I had same effect w/NON carbon fiber spoiler, & used this tech myself. Then the 3m tape made contact but kept lifting, bought a db syringe & injected a tad of Super Glue, all is perfect.

Same here...they used a heat gun, clamps, and industrial strength bonding glue, and time. It was a good fit in the first place so they didn't have to do much "massaging"...on the previous CF rear spoiler (not from Revozport) there was a slight twist to the spoiler so the gaps were evident...

Interesting fellas....
Thanks. I guess I assumed that they all would just fit perfectly. Looks like only the super expensive ones do.....
