Is it just your taste of the spoiler looking ugly? or is there some other hidden reason i do not know about. I wish to get one because i think it looks decent and it'll be a little different the all the many other C-Class benz they have here in LA.

So what was your reason?

Talking about the stock/default wing you can add to the C-Class

Which Benz? Which spoilers?


For the coupe I think the Renntech looks good but is a little too gawdy.

I will be intalling (LOL sticking) the AMG spoiler on my coupe. Unless something nicer comes out prior to that.

The AMG spoiler is just enough, looks factory and low cost and adds to the looks of the car.

You could put a huge aluminum wing back there...I mean, you never see that anywhere, right?

Our 230k sedan seem stable enough at 100 mph so far...

For the Sedan I don't think anything looks as good as the Salvatore Motorsports spoiler...

I think vadim13 has it on a C32?

I have always loved spoilers, but I have never liked them on Mercedes, BMWs, and Jaguars. I don't know... There's just something wrong about it

trunk lid wing

That spoiler looks awful. It looks like a Hyundai Accent "Sport" accessory.

The nice thing about the C is that it's been designed to run at 240 km/h all day without ungainly aerodynamic appendages, such as this absurd add-on. In case you weren't aware, the mere shape of the C Class body controls rear axle lift at high sustained speeds, speeds which - by the way - are highly unlikely to be sustained for any length of time in North America.

So putting something like that on a C is unnecessary. The only reason to put it there is to impress people who like the Toyota Corolla Sport and Hyundai Accent Sport body kits And that's not something I'd be keen to do.

Aim higher. Leave it as is.

You're canadian... what do you know

So basically you are going to tell me i "Riced" out my car by putting the spoiler on? How about the retards putting on these horrendous body kits.. Yes i have modded my car.. FOR THE TRACK..


H&R Coil-Overs
C32 Big Brake Kit upgrade
Brembo Rears
Custom Fit BBS RS-GT's
Eisenmann Race Exhaust.
Supersprint Mid's

Ohh and OEM Spoiler.. If you want to talk aerodynamics.. Sure lets go.. i graduated from Cooper Union with an M.S. in Aeronautical Engineering and a B.S. in Physics.. im quite sure i have even a small idea about design theorys and methods
