LOL...Didn't even look at the ebay posting cuz I was too lazy and crazy busy at work. Wow, now I have to say that is definitely one of the worst things ever. Granted, it's creative and probably took some work, but still...

Yup, definitely. The skills are impressive putting all that together, but the mix-n-match of different body parts is highly questionable.

Still, the more I look at it, the more I wonder what body shop this was done at and how much they charge because I can only imagine how well put together a body kit designed for a w203 would come out from that shop.

I know, that's what I'm saying. He was able to piece together all these MB body parts and make the work look very clean!

What I'm wondering is, how good of a job would he do on a simple body kit installation and whether he does this on a consistent basis because a body kit install (with molded pieces) would probably be a simple job compared to what he did above.

You can drive any car off road.
