CF Rear spoiler and front lip?

Is anyone aware of anyone producing a carbon fiber rear deck spoiler or front lip for the SL65. I checked with Gary but nothing.

They don't have the front lip for the 2007's or 2008's...

Thanks for the link but now I find myself having to make a desision. I thought there was only one spoiler. So maybe I can get a group concensis on which style they think look s best. There is the SL-63 style or the L-3 style. I know they only show the SL-63 in carbon fiber but I found another supplier who thinks they can get me the L-3 style fabricated in Carbon Fiber for me if I can be patient. Any comments on the styles? The L-3 I believe is the style used on the SL-65 Black Series.

The L3 style isn't really an SL65 BS style spoiler....that part is very different.

I would go with the SL-63 style as it is just aggressive enough to make a statement and finish the car off without making it look tastelessly modified. For a factory look go painted, if you want to be adventurous, go carbon (what I got for a silver car).

Hope that helps in your decision.

Yes, thank you very much. You addressed my concerns perfectly. I always liked the SL-63 style but when I saw the L-3 it only confused the issue. I thought it might be a bit much but wihout seeing it on the car it was a tough desicion. I want my SL65 to look somewhat sporty but also classy at the same time. I don't want it looking like some kids Gangsta Rapper POS. My 65 is steel gray and has a lot of factory CF in the interior and it is just enough of a contrast with the gray dash and door panels to give it a classy look. I am hoping the CF on the exterior will do the same so I am thinking of leaning in that direction.

And yes you were also correct about the L-3 and the Black Series. Where I saw the L-3 was on a Black Series copy. The real BS has the powered spoiler I believe.

SL65 Spoiler

I recieved my rear deck spoiler from Jerry and installed it this weekend. The car probably needs to be lowered next.
