Need a little help here.

Guys I just got a set of BBS Lm wheels. And I was wondering how they would look on my car...I have here a pic of Kens C55. Can you guys add a rear roof spoiler and tint the car about 50% darker. I just want to see before I start working on taking pieces off.

What I asked for was to darken the tints and put a rear wing I guess its easier to do this on a pc then to strip tints and remove the wing. Just some details on the car that I wanted to see before I did the mods in real life. But thanks for your comment.

Mike, tint would look okay (I think) though I'm not a fan. The pic in my sig on the left gives you somewhat of an idea. I would pass on the roof spoiler though. Just my opinion.

I would do the chop for you but I'm currently occupied with a few other things in PS. You can PM shake or ZorroAMG to see if they can help you out.

Thanks so much for the usefull insight on how to go about things with the car. I'm gonna take your adviced and remove the roof spoiler. I currently have 50% Huper Optik greyish on the car you can almost not tell that its on the car. It's really there to protect the leather. Now for my other question should I remove the S class lights aswell? I'm starting to notice that less is more..Thanks again for stepping up and sharing your imput. Your car actually is what got me to get the LM's...Nice set up..looks timeless

Mike, I'm 50/50 on the S tails but not for the reasons of the look but because I didn't want to mess with the wiring harness modification to make them plug in. Keep them if you already have it. The don't look bad.

Can't wait to see your car.
