BTW, both houses are very nice, at least worthy of a C32 in the driveway.
i agree. that kit should be used on a C320 rather than the C240.

By the way, I also own a C32 and I love it. Driving the C32 makes your blood rush! It is a great car for the automobile enthusiast who requires a 4 door sedan and for whom power and handling are a necessity. However, my C240 with the Salvatore Aero Package attracts more attention than my AMG C32. There are new (better) pictures of the car on the site with the meshes painted black. (I am leaning how to use my new digital camera.)

The kit will fit the C240, C320, and C32. The price Accord referred to was for the premium quality carbon-fibre composite kit. It can also be fabricated with less Carbon-Fibre and a different composite for those who find the price a little steep.

Please note that the C240 is a very nice car and an excellent daily driver that will satisfy most requirements. If you want more power buy a C320. Want to be noticed, add the Salvatore Aero Package. Want to go fast, buy an AMG C32!

Thank you for all your constructive comments!

i'm not to big on the kit, but if you like it thats all that really matters. something i would do would be to lower it and use some deep dish wheels to finish off the aggressive appearance... overall the car is one of kind... those bbs CH(?) are nice but they fit an S4 perfectly..

franco... i noticed on the site that the rear wing can be made in carbon fiber... would it be shiny like my carbon fiber hood or would it be dull. what i mean is can i put it on like that to keep the carbon fiber look?

Rear Spoiler for x240x

Hi xc240x,

Yes, you can get that same shiny carbon fibre look like the one on your hood if you desire for the rear spoiler. All our parts can be finished that way for that matter. It is just a matter specifying the finish you want for the parts.

Regards
Franco

Your are entitled to youir opinion. However, just remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that the ideal for Mr. Toad is Mrs. Toad! Just because you don't like it does not mean its ugly!

Nice car. Id like to see the kit in person. Looks crazy. But one thing is you really got to lower it. Hehe.

Hi BrabusCClass,

Ordered new springs. Had no ETA on Eibachs so switched to H&R. Should receive them next week. Too bad you live over 3000 miles away or I would glady drive down to show you the car in person.

Regards
Franco

Just added H&R Springs and Rear Spoiler. Much better handling with the H&R Springs, better looks too!

Thanks Accord. I am contemplating changing the springs on my C32. However, H&R does not make any for the C32 so the only other option is Renntech.

looks great.

the spring from H&R will work for the C32. It does nothing to the handling, but it does lower the car a little.

Actually, it does improve the handling. Significantly better than stock. It's a stiffer ride tho, that's why I went with the Carlsson's instead (also Carlsson's were a bit lower).
