Thank you. I do like the trunk spoiler. Do you know who makes them?

I think you will find the real AMG wheels better for the lousy roads we all seem to have.

Rather than ad hominem (name calling) arguments as I was guilty of above I realized you were serious and looking for honest opinions.

A mixture of frank negative and positive views is more informative than epithet slinging!

I agree with BayAreaC32 as well...those Lorinser side skirts completely ruin an otherwise perfect car. I think AMG one's look the best IMO.

Nice wheels btw! It was an excellent choice.

i just lowered my 04 cl500 yesterday. does not look as good as my 65, being maybe because it has the stock wheels or is to low. i will post pics of both by the weekend to see what you guys think. i cannot find a used set of cl65 wheels anywhere!

You dont think these wheels look good? I think they look better than the ones i had on before. Roof wing coming off next, but side skirt stay, the may not look good to you guy in the pics, but in person they look sick.

The car looks great. The wheels are nice.

Any side shots or rear shots from far with the new diffuser?
