Lightbulb [Help] SL TRUNK SPOILER

Hello Guys,

I would like to ask you if you think this spoiler would look nice on my SL55?



And in case you think this is not nice, what about this:




Waiting to hear from you guys

thanks

IMHO, the R230 looks best without any spoiler at all. It's a classic, elegant design that flows smoothly from bumper to bumper. I appreciate the desire to individualize your car. I think rims and side skirts offer a better possibility that doesn't disrupt the gorgeous lines. That said, I think the first spoiler you posted is beyond hideous. If you really, really must have a spoiler, go with the second, more discrete one.

Me and most of the automotive world agree with you wholeheartedly.

Couldn't agree more. That looks like something an owner of a 1995 Honda Accord would put on his car along with a set of wheels that cost him more than the car itself.

The spoiler on the Black series retracts when the car is not moving so it don't look like an air plane trying to take off when its parked

I agree with this, I'll never put a spoiler on mine and that first spoiler is ridiculously ugly.

I agree

1st one looks horrible, it's not a Civic...

I have the lip style on my 550

That looks nice, and agree the first spoiler looks like an ironing board
