Seriously thinking about “upgrading” my car. recommendations plz.

Okay guys. I’ve seen a couple of pictures of Lorinser cars, Renntech and AMG.
To be honest with you, I know nothing about cars. In fact I just found out about Renntech just yesterday!

I don’t want to change anything in the car suspensions or engine. I just want to change the way it looks.

The Renntech looks the coolest (to me at least). But it looks like it requires a lot of work (not like I’m going to work on them or anything).

So… would you recommend me to anything? Any suggestions? By the way, my car is C-coupe.

amg would be easiest...as u can just get it at ur local dealer...others to look at are carlsson, brabus...maybe even kleemann... but.... be forewarned


body kit begets larger rims...larger rims begets better tires....larger rims with slim tires begets lowering spring...lowering spring begets better shocks...

u get the idea :p

hmmm....

I've been looking at sites today... it seems that upgrading my car would cost around $9K at least!

I dont' get it... why all those people go upgrade their cars? I mean, now I'm thinking instead of putting all this money on the upgrades, I could get a larger car. maybe clk! (would cost another 9k right... but thats why dad is here :p)

heh.

darkfact....personally, i prefer brabus. lorinser seems tooooo fancy, while i am still overwhelmed by the renntech look. I am not sure if Kleemann offer a kit for the coupe.

I just checked brabus site. it doesn't look like they do a lot of things for the ext. I think Renntech is the best till now.

i personally love the renntech wide body kit. if i had a coupe, that would be the kit. it looks so sweet, but you need a good body shop to do the work and you will be without a car for atleast 2 weeks. if its sooner, its a crappy job.

Antonio what does your car look like? I would like to see your front. I have my stock sports kit bumpers and was thinking about getting the Reiger pieces just for fun. I can switch them around with my Brabus.
