Looks like a nice race car, but not good for a street car. It's just too much.

are you kidding???

that is the worst kit ive ever seen. who would do that to a Benz??? anybody who would do something that awful should just by the IS300, skip all that bodywork and spend the money they saved on some stickers to make it go faster.

for those who like that kit, you've bought the wrong car. you guys should've bought the Lexus GS300/400.

On silver it looks sweet, on the black it just looks a little to plain on the sides and back.

Also not a fan of the front bumpers that extend way out at the bottom, plus it looks to sporty for a sedan, maybe on the coupe.

MB + RICE does not equal nice (talk about killing your resale)
