E550 Coupe
I bought that exact same spoiler from China of eBay. It was good quality but I didn't know how it would look with my Indium Gray Metallic E550c. It turned out looking great like yours and it was much cheaper than the body colored option from the dealer. Mine was the real 5.5L V-8 with 382HP and no turbo lag. FYI, I hated to see vars like the C63 lose that (actually only 6.2L V-8) with the N/A 451HP of tire shredding mania. Sure the 4.0 bi-turbo add 18HP but the engine and exhaust note wasn't the same. Stupid EPA!!! It's getting worse for other manufacturers too. The new Porsche 718 has 2.0L Turbo instead of the 3.4L N/A flat six engine and yes it has 40 more hp and better 0-60 times but it sounds (as one car show reviewer stated) like a Subaru. Who wants that??? Give me a 3.4L and a good car tuner and I am a happy camper. Don't get me started on a manual transmission vs the PDK or CVT transmission. Why would you not want to shift a good old fashion manual sports car vs some flopping paddles even if it is 1 second faster? Its a freakin sports car you should have a manual transmission with all its quirkiness, unless you are in your 70-80 years old (not trying to offend, just stating facts).
