possible new project??

what do you guys think of maybe making a "shark fin" roof spoiler in carbon fiber? kinda like the ones you see on the older mitsubishi EVO? do you think it would look good or is it a little to "rice" for a Benz? i've always wondered about it...

I'm thinking it sounds way to "ricey" for a Benz. Of course, there have been a lot of tastefully done mods on the forum that I didn't think I would like but they have turned out well.
It may be all in the execution...

I read some kid did it on his TDI VW as well as some under body aero mods and it increased his MPG. I guess it creates a vortex and actually is there for a purpose on EVO. I am not to fond of them though.

Does that go "fin" side up or "fin" side down to the glass. If it goes fin side up, I think it will look bad. But if those little fins go down, I think it would look pretty cool.

Don't do it!

Our cars are more aerodynamic stock than the Mitsu EVO with those tacky add ons.
Keep it clean.
