Well, I would take my car with even larger wheel gaps over that thing. I would also take my non sport body without any exhaust over that body kit - it looks like it was just tacked on (obviously I would take the stock sport body over either the lux or that ugly thing).

I also *by far* prefer my much cheaper 17" CLK AMG wheels over those.
Mods (even expensive ones) can make an expensive car looks really tacky really fast. Having said that, I wouldn't mind a *reasonable* drop on my car, but I couldn't justify the cost.

Having said that, I just looked at your car and it looks to me like your mods are all very nice and tastefully done, so I feel like you think the way I do. Your wheels look like they're 17s 18s?

It's all personal taste and to be unique. I think the Wald kit looks great with 20's. If we all just got 17's and called it at day then everyone would end up having the same car.

Thank god taste varies or we'd all be chasing the same woman. However - there is good taste & bad taste - Good taste = FrankW's type of balanced mods. I don't even like black cars but I think his car looks great.

No luv for the wald kit around here now a days. Its def not my flavor, but I have to say that I think hes done the look better than most who have add on lips on their pre-facelifted sedans. To each his own
