Maybe if it had a more race car look about it, like DTM Style. Everything looks conservative but that wing just sticks out like a sore thumb.

Or atleast lower it a bit and angel it back, from the side and the back it dosent look to appealing, from the front or 45 degrees it looks good because you cant see the brackets.

All in all 6 out of 10

I actually like it (the car as a whole) but it just doesn't look like a Mercedes to me. I love how you still post pics knowing what almost everyone on this forum will say, +1 on the originality and not making a clone of everyone elses car.

I don't like it personally, but the first picture looks nice to me. Just that angle I suppose.

This wing actually looks sweet. Looks kinda like the J's Racing Spoiler my friend has on the S2000. IMO, the previous wing does look better though. I guess the feeling is coming from the previous one being more color matched?? I have a good feeling about the new spoiler, but not feeling the mount...it looks like the mount is too wide to fit on the trunk, just my thought. I would definitely like to see this in person. As for the Side Wing Plates, i think they look good right now, but there is definitely room for improvement. Since you already went so far in doing this, mind as well shop around for more options.

It is one unique Coupe though.

It looks weird an an angle exposing the tails, side profile is okay.

I think you should DARKEN your tail lights, it might be better IMO.

Like said above as long as you like it! :Y

Wow, I cant believe how many people dont like it! It looks better than your old wing....

I think in general, the coupe has a "rice" feel to it, compared to the sedan. I think a wing suits the coupe, it would look ludacris on a sedan, but it suits your car.

This forum is pretty anti-rice so ...... +3 for originality, +10 for having the ***** to post this when almost everyone didnt like it!!

my tail light is tinted dark, but not as dark as yours (you can get **** from the cops in Toronto for making it too dark!)

I like it a little better now, but still not feeling the wing in general. I am with Frank, just doesn't seem to fit a Benz. Maybe if it was color matched But, I give you props for being unique and modding your ride to suit YOU, not the masses.
