Jangy, you need to wash the car man. Those wheels are dirty and it needs a bit of a wax job. :p JP man. I love that spoiler as I have one on the E55 as well.

Just picked mine up from the Mercedes Dealer and had them install it. Turned out pretty darn nice.

Love it even more on your car since its all black and debadged.

MBZ of Laguna Niguel. They did the install. Just some really good double sided tape is what they used. So far so good.

An arm, a leg and a kidney would help while you're at it

I dont remember exactly, but let me try and find an invoice if I still have it. I think it was pretty close to what MBUSA list price was.

Here's my invoice info:

Part #: 6-6-88-3000
List: $365

Discount: JACKSHIIIIAAAAT LOL!!

It comes primed, but not painted. It also has the double sided tape on and ready to go. The painting was $150. I installed it. Very easy, since it hugs the lines of the car (unlike the fake). I am still supposed to take it back and have them buff it out and make the orange peel match the car (these guys are good). They didn't want to handle it too much while it was off of the car, since they had no way "grab" it. So, they "over" paint it and then come back and buff it to perfection. They can also touch up with an airbrush (anything REALLY small).

I dunno if he got his at a dealer or not. i paid straight retail, so I wouldn't think that OC and Carlsbad are that different in price? Maybe his charge included some labor or special shipping? No worries on the call. I haven't had the time to detail it yet anyway.
