I'm sorry but that spoiler is just too ricey and a shame to put that on C63 AMG if it is for daily drive. If this is mainly for track then it is a different story.

I am wondering if the effect of a non-specifically-designed wing can actually be felt even on the track.
IMO the larger wings server more of a visual purpose than an aerodynamic one. If one looks at genuinely quick cars that WERE designed with wings, both active or otherwise, they tend to be quite small and not as aerodynamically aggressive as aftermarket ones.
Take the 997TT's active rear wing. It's probably one of the largest out there. It is nowhere near the angle and size of some of the monstrosities on offer.
For race cars (DTM, etc.) it's another matter. Drivers are waaaaaay better than you or I and of course all the telemetry and so on means you can actually tune the wing to produce the best drag/down-force compromise. Something that I don't feel is so necessary for our daily commute.
Besides, unless it's designed with one, adding a rear wing to a car is a bit... umm....
Anyway, each to his own.

Tho spoiler doesn't apeear to have even sideblades on the left and right...
Maybe that's just the lens distorsion or maybe it's really home made
Is this guy running big oval races?
