2014 E350 Sport Spoiler help! Renntech or Wald

I need help and cant decide, I need outside opinions. I have a 2014 E350 Sport in Black. My spoiler choices are either the carbon fiber Renntech spoiler or the Wald (black bison) spoiler. PLEASE HELP!!
I'm also open to other suggestions.

Just go with the stock spoiler. Those 2 are both over the top for a 350. The look of that Bison add-on is beyond words that I could carefully assemble in my brain.

I agree wholeheartedly. I have the OEM spoiler and it looks just fine.

Like I said I'm open to other options but no spoiler and the oem spoiler are not options I am considering.

What are your intentions for the car? Are you aware that it is a luxury sport sedan? Or do you want it to look like one of those tacky rice-burners with the huge wings, that the Mexicans drive?

Since you have the facelifted car...I vote for Bison because it flows with the curvy style. If pre-facelift then Renn is a better match. Have fun!

Well there you have it. KEY08 and I have given our identical opinions. But looks like you have your mind already made up. Good luck with the outcome...

So I am fully aware of what the car is and I fully respect that. With that said, the front end is just gorgeous or as my friend says "sexual" lol. So I am looking for a good flow for the rear spoiler with the front end taken into consideration. I have no intention of making the car look tacky. I just want to build on the "sportiness" of the look of the car. It also has the 18" AMG double 5 spoke rims that may or may not be turned black as well with a 20% tint.

So to recap, I want to maintain FLOW, CLASS, and "SPORTINESS".

Also, I'm open to any suggestions other than OEM and NONE.

Let me change my statement of "BORING" to redundant or generic. We buy these cars(E class) (at least I did) because they are unique and not everyone has one on the road like a mustang or camry. So, I am just looking to maintain that rareness or individuality while still keeping it from being tacky or cheap. Thank you guys again for all of you info and opinions please keep it coming

Sorry but I am going to cast another vote for the OEM spoiler. Both of those two you are choosing from look like they belong on a Mustang or Camry. Like others have said, the E350 is a Luxury Sedan, not a wanna be ricer.

But to each his own I guess......

The first white wald looks hideous, may be I don't have taste.
You have a black car, so, I'm not sure you want to waste money on CF spoiled like in the 2nd pic.
I would go with regular black 2nd one or OEM black one. But you're against OEM, So, my opinion leaves to the 2nd model in regular body color matching black.

I have the OEM spoiler (colour coded) as well as the Renntech in carbon fibre. However, I just got an RW Carbon DTM spoiler and I love it! Looks great on the car. Sorry, but I don't have any pics of it yet.

I'll sell my Renntech if you're interested?

i like the kit and the spoiler is appropriate for it. You should do the whole kit.

I personally like stock, but I can see the Wald being appropriate if you have the whole kit and enough ponies to go with the look!

I used to drive a E250 Diesel with the Sport package and that felt like an oxymoron to me at times! I think the car's aesthetics should match its true performance/capabilities. An E550 (with mods?) would probably be a good candidate for the Wald kit.

If you don't like the stock spoiler, I would look for something little less aggressive than the Wald that is also painted to match body color.

Had no clue there was an E class DTM race car. Learn something new every day, I guess.

I didn't name the thing. I'm just looking for something that will make it stand out without fingers being pointed in a negative way.

Lol! The shape and size is fine. If you like the CF look, go for it. I'm personally not crazy about the CF look on a car like this and would want something that's painted body color. However, between your two choices, I think this is definitely the better one! I don't think you'll get too much finger pointing...
