Question Aerowing choices?

From reading through threads on the topic, I have found references to aerowings sold by 'for my mercedes', as well as those made by Piecha. I prefer the looks of the Piecha set...but at $50 per wing they're a tad too pricy for my taste.

Are there any other choices out there besides OEM and these two?

Thx! Those look almost identical to the ones sold by for my mercedes. Perhaps a tad nicer... I think I'll have to go for it, seems like a nice add-on.

I received the Aerowings from 'for my mercedes dot com' today, and they arrived in a Schatz branded box. I got the satin silver ones, definitely a great match with Iridium Silver. I think chrome would have looked a bit tacky/flashy, also considering that these wings are plastic, not metal. If you don't know you may not notice they are plastic, but since I do know...I can tell when the light hits them just so. Maybe someday I'll swap them for metal ones. For now I'm happy with the way they look.

Installation was a breeze, took me no more than 5 minutes to snap them in place. I'll take a few pictures soon and post them here, they look slightly different (better) from the pictures posted on the site. Overall I think these aerowings are a nice addition... gives the car some "teeth" or something.

Here's two quick pictures. The second pic shows how you can sometimes see it is plastic when the light hits it a certain way, the darker shadow is due to the slight bending of the plastic where one of the "feet" snaps into the grille. But overal, I like 'em.
