Whats the overall opinion of the M5 spoiler???

Im looking at some of the recent pics of the m5 spoiler mounted on the CL-S and I must say it does improve the look at least a little bit. I would much rather have the sema but since thats not available I was actually considering trying it out...except I have some questions

1- How much $$$ and where to get this spoiler unpainted?/

2- I have seen replicas for $60 on ebay is it worth it or cheap knock-off ?

3- for the people with the spoiler does it fit like OEM or is it a bit small. Judging by the pics it seems a bit too small but overall not bad.

4-How long do you think the 3m tape will hold it in place not like the door sills

5-whats the total price for the mod painted and mounted ??

I can't really answer any of your questions, but I think it looks great, particulary on that Blue CL that was is MattG's post.

I don't have the link to the site right now where I ordered mine... but they sell the real M5 spoilers, not the knock-offs.

The spoiler itself is a bit small.. its more for people who didn't want a spoiler in the first place, but want to address the sloppiness of our trunk problem. If you want something more noticeable, this might not be for you.

The 3M tape I order from the site works great, and like Matt said, only if installed correctly. And the spoiler fits just right.

I think the spoiler, paint and install cost me $200 total. Hope this helps.

Street Effectz was using M3 spoliers a few years ago. At a PAA meet, I borrowed one from him and put it on my black CL. I really liked the look. I posted the picture awhile back but it was stored on photopoint which is now bye-bye. I'm not sure I still have it.

Too small a spoiler in my opinion. I have the Acura spoiler and I like it. Not to high, just right. In the pics I can hardly notice the M5 spoiler. Maybe it is better in person. If you are the type of person that hates the Acura spoiler then the M5 is a nice way to add an accent to the back of the car IMO.

BTW, the spoiler is pretty cheap but the paint is what is expensive.

I just put my lip on my car, it fits good. I bought a replica off ebay for like 45 bucks shipped and it was painted for 52, the only problem with it is I didn't see it before it got painted and there are injection lines on the back, i would have had them sanded off first. You can only see it up close, when i get my new hood, ill have them sand and paint it agian... but i like it better than the OEM one and it breaks the trunk up a little.
