Benz-O-Rama

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?

Benz-O-Rama

The one I got was from JB Speed. It fit pretty flush, except that one complete side would not contact the trunk. You think YOU had a gap:

I had exactly the same gap on mine so I took it to my body shop for them to fit. It came back with no gap so I'm happy with it.

Benz-O-Rama

Do you also have the JB Speed one?

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.

Thericker

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.

I'm persistent

andy_meng1024

Yes, I have the same one from JBSPEED. I test fitted it myself and realized it wouldn't fit so I took it to my body shop to see if they could do anything to make it fit and they did. I'd suggest the same thing to you and if body shop can't make it fit then return it.

andy_meng1024

You'r the man. I was too chicken to do it myself.

AMGfan

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...

Benz-O-Rama

Interesting fellas....

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

Marcus Frost

BOR,

If it is any consolidation, my OEM SL63 spoiler needed some "coaxing" to fit totally flush as well. It did not fit flush from the factory.

I got my spoiler from this guy and my spoiler was good quality. His ebay site sucks, but for 200 who cares...If you want I will take some pics of mine for you, just send me a PM

Really? That's surpising. That's good to know, thanks! So it seems a professional install is the norm for the SL.

Did you also have to "massage" yours into place? Or was it a perfect fit?

Sunir

BOR bro that cf spoiler is gonna look sweet on your black ride! I thought about getting a cf spoiler but then though of body match color for it instead, never quite made my mind up...I dunno on my car maybe I'll stay without a spoiler

Perfect fit on mine
