Or at least gloss black to match the sides of your wing and rims.

Personally, though, I'm not a fan of the look. It would detract from your bodykit, imho, and all anyone would see would be the canards.

wind diffusers FYI

Lol I toyed around with the idea too, but you have to drill into the front of the bumper and it looks to much like a mitsu evo wanna bee. But hey kid do your thing, looks good so far.

I know the mods are different and not something anyone else has done... but I don't know... the mods to me take away the classiness of the car. Like frank said, it just doesn't look right.

Dude, you are screwing with the already problematic design lines in the coupe.

MB redesigned the back of the coupe for their new CLC for a reason.

Makes it more streamlined to "push up the back" leave out rear bumper or allude to leaving it out --

push up the MB star and the badging to where our back tinted window on the hatch is --

STOP. You are ruining this car. Girls hate RICE. Take off those grills, too.

If you do anything mod the car like the new CLC -- grey out the top of your 05 tails, see if MB will sell us the extended tail light pieces near the license. I'm going to try to get a new CLC front grill modded to my 04.

That wing is just killing the coupe for me. I am sorry.

IMO Coupe is not a classy car, it's a sporty car, so why bother going in between the two? If i were to choose, i would choose sporty =)

as a girl, i think its sexy just as girls to lingerie, guys to mods. both are sexy and attracts attention (whether good or bad, and in this case IT'S good). stands out from others.

girls dun hate rice. i think its sexy to sit in one. imagine a girl driving a rice

personally, i vote no for canard.
