Pano Roof Mod and Roof Wing, what do the masses think?

Friends,

I want to do the pano roof mod. After seeing EM's ride I'm sold on the silver with black roof. My dilemma is this, do I keep my roof spoiler or remove it? The car came with it and if I had a choice I probably would have never put it on to begin with. So, what are your thoughts on:
1. Remove the roof wing and doing Pano Roof
2. Do pano roof, keep the wing and have it wrapped as well

Your input is appreciated!!

Thanks for your negative opinion. If you dont like it, you should probably keep it to yourself. There are a couple cars here that I think are weird but I would never let the owner know because that person probably spent $$ making it weird and probably loves the way it looks. My question was about pano roof, not if eddie thinks the car is busy.

you asked for people's input. no need to chew the guy out. he gave you his honest opinion.

you definitely should take off the roof spoiler if you do the pano roof.

you also need to either paint your orange reflectors or get euro impact strips.

I think he means the roof spoiler makes it look busy, which is responding to your question, and I would agree. I am not a fan of roof spoilers on just about any car, or painted roofs for that matter, but I do think pano roofs on light colored cars looks nice.

Yeah, I agree. I was just teasing the guy. I know he meant the roof spoiler looks busy.

COD MW2?? Also, I really want the clear reflectors, the orange ones are dated. Any ideas where I can score some?

I'm going to go against the masses here and say that I like the way the roof spoiler looks on your car, it is a sweet setup. However, if you're going with the pano roof look, then I agree that the roof spoiler should go, as it will allow the pano roof to stand out more

Mikeevo, here is my car with a black gloss vinyal wrap!https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...eral-pics.html


Vaz, loose the spoiler and wrap the roof! People that know nothing about pano roof compliment it all the time!

Definitely do the carbon fiber wrap on your roof, that would be sick! We thought about doing the whole car, but thought that would be a bit too much. If you are going to keep the spoiler, and not sell me, paint or wrap it to match the roof!

Yeah, do black roof with black grille and air vents in hood and black side markers. I also agree with removing spoiler on roof.

A Prius because I'm green
Stealthauto has the clear side markers and they are easy to install!

I would also suggest selling the diffuser to me!
