Haha, Well the Widebody has been completed, I just got all the electrical issues and other small things that were wrong resolved. Its going back to the paint shop for the final finish tomorrow. Toying with the idea of carbon fiber wrapping a few things (Front Lip, Vader Fins, and the Diffuser)(I know its not the real thing)
Next:
So I decided what I plan to do with the wheels. I will be keeping the originals however, there is a place here in the Bay Area that can rebarrel my current wheels. So I plan to have them custom fit them to this car.
After the wheels are completed I plan to upgrade the brakes to the 6pot AMG versions and of course new rotors as well.
Thats the plan for the cosmetics, For now another teaser photo

sounds like a good plan on the wheels...i'd like to see it finished with proper wheels because it looks off without the correct offset...
i wonder if the sarona BS kit is the same as the prior design because there close in price..

I haven't updated this thread in a while, Here are some of the latest pics on how it sits... To me, this project is now 100% complete. Since we can now edit posts in MB, ill be fixing the broken pictures.
I change my original plan, and went with the factory MB Black series wheels. I cracked one of my HRE's and sourcing another one was a challenge, plus they still wouldn't have fit correctly
