You need something in the realm of having extras like this wide body CLK body kit that I have provided in this link to make that HUGE SPOILER look esthetically correct.

I have to agree with CLK FAN. If you have not done any mods to your body then the balance of the spoiler will make your car look more like a Honda.

But it all boils down to what you like. Most people don't like bling bling so when I put my 20" blings on people will probably say I'm

It's because it's a wing, like on a plane, so it helps with lift, so the car kind of rises like with a plane so if you can imagine being on a plane and you're going down the runway and the wings start to help with lift and you get pushed back in your seat its the same kind of thing only in your car but it's just like on a plane.

ya you might as well get a civic if you just want to put the wing right on the car without any other body work. I guess it wouldn't look all that bad if it had the wide body, but then it just defeats the whole purpose of owning a European car by taking the class away. The kit that they gave you the link to is hot and I would love to have it but then again I wouldn't put that wing on it. all my own opinion though... to each their own. I guess just post up some pics to show us what it looks like and MAYBE it might change some minds.....again

I sure hope that NO ONE was being serious about all that hp gain with the wing.....

Isn't it crazy how real that little bug looks? I thought it was funny although sometimes I trick myself and want to flick it off too!!!

Sweet!!! Everyone is going to be so jealous of that. I mean it's smart. Put the down force in the center thereby maximizing and spreading it out over the entire length of the car.

My fellow CLK owner; leave the wing on ebay. Don't do it
You have an automobile not a car. Let it go.... Don't return to the ebay page and look at it again. Just say NO!

The most important thing is what your friends think, don't worry about what YOU think. Its YOUR car, not theirs!

I want to see what you see. You purchased it thinking it goes on the roof so I want to see how it looks on the Roof and on the Trunk.

Yeah, that's a bummer. I think he followed that one DIY thread about airfoils thinking that the same theories applied to wings.... totally different mod. concepts.
