They haven't responded to any of my inquiries either. I'd be interested in it but in graphite shadow. Please let me know.

After seeing the pictures on the BMW I would ask to get it unpainted since it was obvious, to me at least, that the spoiler was a different color than the car. I may be interested if getting it unpainted is an option.

White is absolutely the hardest color to match. 9 out of 10 places wont get the color right.

Ill try and talk with them about doing a group buy.

Just talked to them, and its not worth it to buy in bulk. Best to buy on your own.

Thanks for checking, bat. Hopefully they'll have them listed on eBay soon.

I just reached out to them again, this time through eBay.

What I've been wanting in a roof wing all along is something akin to the flat trim piece on the Mercedes W204.

Say bat, how would we go about finding out what the dimensions are on that Merc spoiler? If the length is right, and it's a flexible material to match the gentle curvature of the roof-line... stranger coincidences have happened.

I'm pretty Merc-stupid, but some quick googling identifies the W204 as internal code for the Mercedes C-Class, from 2007 to 2014. So I'm guessing Merc-heads refer to the C-Class from those years as the W204... just like bimmer owners use manufacturer codes for various model 3-Series.

That spoiler is OEM. However, there are also knock-offs of the same design, likely done because its always cheaper buying a knock-off piece of plastic than OEM.

If you research "W204 roof wing" or "W204 roof spoiler", you'll find lots of info. Seems there's also a "VIP Roof Wing" for the same car, which is absolutely hideous.

Thinking... thinking... I suppose one way to get answers is to hit up a Merc forum. Man, I just *KNOW* I would love to have that exactly trim piece to fit the G Sedan, in gloss black. I'm like 99% sure of it. Here's another example, with a white roof even. Just ignore the stupid fender flares, LOL.



And here's another, also white with a white roof, but a CF spoiler:

You just did the hard part. Now you just have to find a C class and measure yourself, or go on the forums and search.

Happybuyitnow wrote me back through their ebay account, with an offer of $80 USD shipped on a gloss black Extreme III roof wing. I'm going to roll the dice and order it.

This pic here was in their email:
