SL Rear wing (pics), poll: yes or no?

Here are some pictures I've collected online of SL's with wings. What do you think about it? I like them, as they don't interrupt the lines and in my opinion just gives it an extra 'flare'...

wow weird.. I thought people would like them more. at least the first two... I think the ones that are more raised dont look so well. Then again, it might just be how the others have strange bumpers which make it unappealing. Once again, Im talking about the wing / deck lid...

Ah all these old people, so afraid of change I guess we all like the same car, but for different reasons. I like it because of its shapes and smooth lines, and aggressive looks. It looks more sporty to me with a decklid lip.

Well, I would of voted no too, I cant change the thread title now. When you hear wing most people think 12 foot fast n furious wings. I meant more of just a lip/decklid. I cant change the thread title now. oh well. There was two yes votes at least :p

I personally like the look of the SL without anything done to the rear.

I like a little lip on the rear, but that's just me...

None of those bother me that much

But I wouldn't do it.

At the same time I'd never criticize another who put one of those on his/her car to express their own individual tastes.

it just kinda makes the rear a "whole", like its connected so to speak.. like in the first pics shows it the best. it makes it stand out.. but anyways each to his own..

the lorinser lip spoiler looks good, you just need to fill the logo in since it looks stupid.

Well said Gregs. Personally, I would not put anything like that on my car, even if it was given to me for free, but that just me. If someone else likes it, so be it.

I vote no.

I like the small suttle lip spoiler (like CLK55). Anything with a gap (aka Wing) looks bad on a MB (unless it's the full blown race cars!).
