Question Thinking of buying a W221 to widebody thoughts?

So I saw these pictures online and thought why not this looks like a fun little build.

Widebody kit and some custom 21" or 22" my wife told me not to touch CLS so I want something to play with.

Egads! That car looks like it belong in a video game or Fast and Furious, not on the street. If you're a "look at me!!!" kind of guy who doesn't mind seeing rolled eyes everywhere you go in it (which will be almost everybody except for a few teenager boys), then that is your kind of car.

Wide body kit looks fine,I've seen worst. Color just a bit different for that setup.

You're going to want a Batman costume to really sell the "look".

Not a fan. This is the sort of inevitable thing that happens when an S chassis depreciates to the point that kits like this seem like a good idea.

The 221 was a beautiful car when new, and (I think) has aged very nicely. That kit looks like something one would put on a 10 year old Civic they just bought for $4500.
