i think the roof spoiler really depends on what else you have on the car to compliment it. a plain car really doesn't pull it off whereas a visually modded one can. they do seem to add an aggressive look but thats just my input and its all subjective; heres a picture:

I agree. Also, it depends on the size of the spoiler. Smaller is better - you're not going to really get any performance benefits from this...it's more for looks.

On a Christmas tree it will look OK. Once you've screwed with the elegant simplicity of the styling - who cares.

that's another 'oldie' w203 and you are 100% on the money on your opinion. I personally told silverlorinserc to paint his roof and his roof spoiler black at the time because I felt it would even look MORE aggressive...he didn't of course lol

I have to say -1 IMHO. Never a big fan of roof spoilers on our cars.

Hey beaver benz, Where did you get your roof spoiler at?

IMO:

Roof spoiler with deck spoiler and other appearance mods (wheels, body kit, ect) -

Roof spoiler alone -

I think a body kit is not always necessary! But you're right it's a no go without wheels.
