Lorinser front quarterpanels



LOVE this - anyone have a picture of this on their ride? If so, can ya post it? This is a bit too much of a close-up.

Thanks!

Just my opinion but I think those would look awkward unless you have the full body kit...kinda like the guys who put vented front fenders on their honduhs

I think this would look sick if you have the front lip mod and quad exhaust! Know of the prices on this?

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
See post #8 in this thread. The car pictured has the Lorinser kit, but does not have the Lorinser front quarter panels posted by chamaile0n:

thanks - on that thread, too. It was the other ride that sparked my interest in finding a ride with the full Lorinser kit. I can't imagine this is a cheap thing to do, so I want to have a full understanding of what it looks like when/if I do it.

I think lorinser has two different tuned (or at least modified) body styles. I really like the exhaust in the picture of the white car

I'm a fan of the exhaust too - again, gotta set you back some mad scratch. If anyone's got prices on this thing, I'd love to know what we're in for.

Judging by the pricing on the Brabus and Expressions body kits, it will probably set you back 5-10K.

are those actual functional vents? If they're closed off and just for aesthetics, I'm eh on it. I guess it bridges the gap between the smaller Expression vents and the more extreme Wald vents.

Are those vents functional (actually vent) or are they closed off?

The vents are just for the look - they are closed!

Mostly I drive a Lorinser C-Class. I was looking for some pictures and in addition to the pictures I already posted I have just this one. The MSRP for the fenders is $2,799. You can mount them without installing the complete body kit. The car looks nice if you mount the fenders, side skirts, roof wing and some wheels.

I'm going to pass. The rear kit looks ok, but I'm not going out of my way and spend that much on it. I'll stick to stock sports package for now.

If Lorinser's build quality is anything like that of their kits for the S550 then RUN away. They look absolutely terrible in person.............I've had several of them come in my shop and it's laughable. People actually pay GOOD money to make their cars look like a cheap POS car.
