2012 E350 w factory spoiler considering CF instead

Ok guys what do you all think? I have the factory $300 factory black spoiler on the deck lid but im considering a CF one to change it up some and add a nice different touch. do you all think its a good idea? i know its personal preference but anyone put a CF spoiler on their black E? look any good or could you even notice it much? thanks!

Carbon fibers are awesome , it may not be noticable on dark colors in respect to pano roof on the black cars but they look nicer when you are by the car

just my thought, and I love the CF, but on a black car, with no other CF anywhere
else might be kind of weird you know?

again, just me

enjoy!

i think you are probably the only one who could notice it when you walk by the trunk. imho, not worth the cost and hassle but like what you said, it's really your personal preference.

The reason why I don't love black spoilers is because unless you're looking for them, they tend to be "invisible". Also, especially when it comes to CF wings, IMO you need some CF elsewhere in the car to pull it off, again especially because it's only at the rear portion of the car.

yeah, i agree with K-A, i like carbon fiber too, but to have that special carbon fiber touch, i think it's better to have multiple carbon fiber items which will make the car look more consistent... carbon fiber spoiler, with carbon fiber side mirrors, grille, and darken (black or grey) rims make it a complete set.


hyperion, u got new rims for your CLS63? they look pretty hot! what are those?

Recently picked up an CPO 2012 fully loaded with the S02 Premium 2 Launch Package. Very nice car in Indium Grey. My question to you is did your car come with a single or a 6 disc in dash changer ? My salesman stated that with all the other options it doesn't come with the changer. This just isn't making sense to me at all. Thank you for any help you will provide. Nathaniel
