Anyone bought these Carbon Fiber Fins?
http://www.performanceproducts4benz....Fiber+Upgrades

I saw these on performanceproducts and thought they were intriguing. having a white SL with black wheels, it may be interesting looking. Anyone seen them on a car, have a pic of them on a car, or opinions?

They look like crap with the CF texture. It just doesn't look right imo.

I think it'd look pretty tight on your SL if they were plain black.

I think they look terrible. They'd never be seen on my car.

Would look good only if you have a CF interior and are trying to keep the theme going. But I'm thinking they may look similiar to the equivilant to bright pink or chrome yellow. Bling

not my cup of tea, but do whatever floats your boat.

it's your car and your expression.

I would rather do CF fins than black, but thats only if I get the Carlsson CF front lip add on. Otherwise, the stock looks very clean if you have matching rims
