turns out the winner was a scammer who hacked into another user name. he was high bidder on 30K worth of auctions. Ebay nullified all the effected auctions. the seller relisted and I mailed him my offer and since I was the high bidder beside the scammer we worked out a deal. I should get the spoiler in a week or two depending on shipping. it is still going to be a while before copies are available, but that is my intention in the future. will post progress as it happens

i need to see the part first to gage the complexity of the tool. Its been about 10 years since I have built a tool and I dont have a feel for current costs. This is going to take a while since it is a private effort. I will post progress when there is some. it might be that I can make fiberglass parts sooner, but that is not the ultimate goal, at least for the front.

Put me on the list



I found a 450SLC in the yard here and it had a front spoiler like that but no AMG markings anywhere.. they wouldn't let me pull anything off it since she(owner of the junk yard) wanted to sell it as a whole.. I offered 100$ for the lights and could have gotten an easy $500 for them from the SLC guys

You do need EURO BUMPERS THOUGH, otherwise it will not fit.

The AMG Spoiler will not fit US DOT bumpers.

either way.. I want one.. a narrow FMIC would work well under the front bumper and with the AMG bumper to hid the plumbing it would be nice
