What do you think of this trunk spoiler?

I've always been a little bit averse to trunk spoilers on clks, except for small lips like the Lorinser. Curious what you thought of the auto couture:

Im not sure if anyone's had experience with this spoiler, but based on looks?? I appreciate any input.

Used to be a CLK430
Not a big fan of trunk spoilers on the CLK, takes away from the wide *** and adds a ricer look....my $.02.

Japanese Yen to Dollar conversion plus shipping makes it $650. Then paint/install. So I consider it a bit pricey. Might end up going with the lorinser lip like everyone else, but thought this might be mild enough to pull off.

It's a little too agressive for the current styling on our cars, however if you are lowered and have aggresive rims, you could actually pull it off. BUT, you have to have an agressive lowered stance and rims otherwise it will look ricey....IMHO of course.

I like it a lot, will prob go with it. It's different, no one i know have 1, not even on the forum.

I think it is aggressive, but not too much. I was also considering their fender flares...
