Definitely the rear lip - the trunk wing destroys the flow of the car

The trunk wing might look okay with the top up; but with the top down, it sticks up too high and breaks the SLK's lines.

WOW
I'm surprised only one person voted for the wing.
You definitely stand out....esp if you get it.

It's not that bad is it?....sleek, elegant, aerodynamic,
and not too wild like some of the autobots you see on the road that
look like space rockets.

Perhaps everyone has the lip and is a lil biased?

It looks much better , this why there is alot of vote for the rear lip...

actually I dont have a rear lip on the SL 55 , I have seen a guy who has an SL 600 , on the SL forum who has it installed in his car, I would ask him about it...
