Roof spoiler: Rice or Nice?

Couldn't find too many pics in the w204 section. Anyone here has one? Or does it look too "tacked-on?"

Even though I'm still searching for my C63, I have already started my mod list... I'm on the same boat about the roof spoiler. I have been talking to this sponsor and here's the link with some pix, hope this would help:

A lot depends on the color of the car.
What is your color?

I will be posting pics of my spoiler on saturday after i take them at the meeting we are having down here in Euroteck. I have 2 roof spoilers and the last one i bought am very proud to be the first one to have it on a C63 since i was the first one to get it when the company made it. Will post some pics tomorrow ( maybe) after a good wash or on saturday.

BTW: A well-made roof spoiler is FAR from tacky looking or ricey IMO

mnl ice is right....if you like it , go for it . not everyone has the same tastes . i think the roof wing looks great . i think doing modifications to a car is great . why would anyone want to look the same as everyone else . its not like you are putting some touring wing from wings west on your roof . i think if you have the money to afford an amg and have the money to trick it out , it's the owners choice .

I'm into functional, however, cosmetics are good too.

I actually like how the roof spoiler looks on your car.
Doesn't look tacky or "Rice" at all in my opinion.

I think the roof spoiler is now a factory option for the 2010 C63 AMG.
I wonder what it looks like on a white or silver C63?

I attached & embedded the pictures for easier viewing on this thread:

I found a picture of a silver C63 with roof spoiler.
It's not a good angle shot, but you can definitely see it.

Thanks Soldier & IV8C55. The silver one doesn't look too bad from that angle. I hope the owner can chime in and post more pics. My concern is it looking too "tacked-on." But then again, the trunk spoiler is tacked-on as well.

It looks damn good soldier. I've always wanted to put one on mine. Did you get it through Mercedes Benz or an aftermkt Co. Oh yeah..how much & did you diy?

I think it looks very GOOD on a black car with tinted rear window, it doesn't stand out and looks as if it is OEM.
I doubt it will look the same on a silver car. Just my opinion

PS I wish the owner of the silver car (from pic in post #22) would chime in. His car has custom CF interior by Macarbon. It would be great to see some pics. (BTW You can see his CF Steering Wheel on that picture)
