im not really feeling it man, i much prefer the one on the clk w209 that a fellow board member has. That was seems smoother and more fitting for the car, your body kit in my opinion seems like its just added on which it is. It would be tite if it looks like the real DTM kit but to each there own, you still have a very nice and unique car. just my .2 cents

Maybe it's b/c the pictures are too small, or the angles aren't that great... But, I'm not feeling it as I was when I saw the in-production pics. I have to agree with FIXEDupW209 on this one. But, the quad exhaust looks hott. Great job nonetheless.

Not my taste. Definitely quality work -- just that the harshness of the new lines doesn't seem to flow with the smooth lines that dominate the stock version of the car. Porsche's take on a widebody with the Carerra S more my style.
To each his/her own though. Enjoy.

Looks awesome, you need the rear to be more agressive, and I know I may get flammed, but I think you need a larger wing like the true DTM cars, just to balance out the radical styling of the fenders etc. Other than that...
