So Funny I had to Post It

lol, while browsing eBay I came across what the seller describes as a "MERCEDES SPOILER RACING FINS BODY KIT FOR CLK CLASS".

These are some of the ugliest things i have seen in a while. The seller makes some crazy claims in the description like.....

"THE FINS REALLY GIVE YOUR CAR A SENSATIONAL LOOK FROM THE BACK....AND GIVES MORE AIR FLOW OVER YOUR REAR DECK"

or

"ADDS A LOOK OF ELEGANCE AND MUSCLE TO YOUR CAR"


Even funnier are some of the testimonials most likely written by the same seller.

"I FEEL I AM GETTING A LITTLE MORE HORSE POWER & BETTER MILEAGE & LOVE THE LOOKS, PETER, MICH.."

or

"MY CAR LOOKS LIKE A $100,000 CAR..SCOTT, OK."


They didn't even have the decency to clean the cars before taking the pics. This started my morning with a little laugh..

After checking the sellers feedback, it looks like the Porsche guys are really into these things...


Here is the link (MERCEDES AMG SPOILER BODY KIT RACING FINS CLK W208 W209)

looks like whoever is selling those either owns, or has access to, a dealership because all 3 of those cars were inventory and they likely just placed them onto the trunk and took pictures. what a fail

And here I'm wasting money on things like headers, tuning and air intakes to increase performance! I'm going to get 2 sets, one for the rear deck and another set for the front to balance out the bad a$$.

Thanks for posting this Wes, we can now all move forward with the $100K look together.

lol, that's funny. I really want to know what was going through the mind of the person who wrote the listing. I mean I giggled a few times just copy and pasting it, I could imagine the person who wrote it up.

lol, at least the car is cleaner than in the eBay listing. I wonder....if they sell the car, would they stop using it in the listing. I would be mad if I came across my car being used to advertise these POS.

"...getting more horsepower...". Absolutely priceless, clueless bafoons. I bet these guys sell smaller brake lines as well...

It amazes me how a guy with a great eBay feedback score like that can list such garbage complete with bogus customer feedback comments. Absolute tool. Hilarious though. Midnight in the desert, signing off for the night. Have a good one boys.

You might get better mileage out of your legs since you will be more aerodynamic...

If I buy these, can I sell my car for $100K? That would make it a great investment!
