Chrome Fender Fins ?
All,
Does anyone install the chrome fender fins on you SLk 350, 55 ? How do they look? Please post your picture if you could with at least full car length.
Pictures in the web site only show the fins which it's hard to justify the look.
Thanks,

That looks lame. IMHO. Looks like it came off a Thunderbird or something.

wouldn't put it on the 55 as the black fins are a unique 55 thing
