E55 Roof Wing: Yes or No?

I was considering adding a Lorinser roof wing to my E55. Is this a stylish / cool trick or too bling? Interested in opinions.

Also, where's the best place to buy a wing? Can you get them pre-painted, or do you have to do that after you receive it? How do they install? Home install or will the dealer to it?

Thanks for any and all input!

No. No. No. Well.. unless you like the over-cooked look... and for that, you can save the trouble and just get a 5 series (vomit).

I will have lost all respect for you if you do decide to add a roof spoiler.

Upload the image in the size you want it at www.imageshack.us

Then use the

[ img ] [ / img ] takes.. without the spaces, put the link to the image between those brackets.

If you need more help, feel free to instant message me.

I can't stand bling or over-modded cars, but I have a roof spoiler. I was going to remove it a while ago but after a while it began to grow on me. Honestly, from up close, the thing is HIDEOUS. But from afar, it really gives the car a more aggressive look in the back. I also have the decklid/trunk spoiler as well, so it kind of is a little too much. I have been and am still debating whether or not to remove the spoiler, but for the sake of my own laziness, I think I just might keep it.
