Franco's C240; Wow!
I must say, WOW about this car. You either love it or hate it, but either way, this car definetly deserves a WOW.
This car is a lot more tastefully done than those riced out C240's that a few people posted pictures of here.
Franco posted this in the picture thread a few days ago, but I felt I should post this here for everyone else to see aswell.
Some might think it is over done, but it is so over done that it actually flows nicely. The wheels really complement the rest of the body kit, I think the gills behind the front wheel wells look very aggressive.
Let's stay positive in this thread.

I like how everything is consistent - the side vents, the front and side skirts, the wheels, even the little intend on the front bumber strips. Certainly different.
Not something I would do but I like it!

white and whiter
i have seen all the picture he had posted.
i like the front and the rear, but the front fender looks like copycat of Lorinser crap. the side skirt is just humongus and doesn't match with the rest of the car. i wonder if they really are the complete set or mix and match.
also that car should gone at least an inch lower.
other than those, i like it. it is very unique.

I just emailed Franco, apparently his company "Salvatore Motorsports" produces this body kit.

The entire kit costs around 6300 USD... not worth that much IMO, although I love the "gills."

More pics of the same car...
After seeing the rest of the pics, I can't say that I like the rear bumper.

I just don't get it. Why spend all that money on wheels and body kits and then cheap out on the car. Why not a C320?
BTW, both houses are very nice, at least worthy of a C32 in the driveway.
