Keith-
As you and I have talked about before, I am much ore interested in a widebody rear. I think that the BS looks great, and the car you are building is killer!!!! But, I have been interested in the rear for a while now. However, if this BS series kit you are making will allow for wider fronts AND rears, well then.................
I'm all for it! When will it be done, or on the market??
PS. I also like the pre-facelift look!!!

I'm sure it could be done but will be very expensive and you wouldn't recoup much of the cost at resale. The issue with our cars are not the width of the front wheels/tires, but the back wheels/tires. Increasing wheel/front tire size without a corresponding increase in the rear wheels/tires will not yield much of a handling gain and I think the car will look even more out of proportion with only the wider front fenders.
I am in the process of getting the necessary parts and will advise when they are here. Then we can talk more about it. I really just wanted the fenders because I need a larger front tire for road racing.
I believe there are others that are working on the BS hood project and I will advise when I find out.
I am still waiting on HMS for the rear fender package as previously mentioned. You can have a local body shop do the rear like Josh and I did. Then the fronts will look more in line. Looks awesome and mine allows 335's on the rear for everyday driving.

Although the whole BS conversion on a sedan is absolutely ridiculous!!!!!
I do not want to convert my sedan to a BS, unless Keith, you perfect the kit and it is reasonable. I am so much more interested in the rear wide-body.
Keith, I see that the rear is available for $10k, if you bring your car to Ohio. How long will this conversion take? How long will my stay in Ohio be??
Thanks Keith, you are a TRUE pioneer.

How to create your own black series from bumper with changing fenders
So I decided to fabricate my own front bumper. It's not hard all you have to do is buy a w203 amg v2 look front bumper off eBay for a couple hundred bucks, cut the lower half off and use the top half of you current bumper.
I have a 2009 w204 c350 sport changed a lot of the look on it. It's been working out well.
Since I'm new to the forum, thought I might share some of the stuff I'm doing...ill post more pics soon
Body fill to cover the fiberglass
Filler primer to uncover the imperfections
Alignment notice I did not have to change the fenders to make this work.
More angles I used wire to hold it together until I get the right adjustments.
This where I its 1/4 inch screws and lock nuts along with locktite industrial glue to hold it together
Fitted the inside parts from my old bumper to the inside of the new bumper also helper connect both pieces
Fiber glass coating to cover the breaks and also to help connect it together making bond stronger like welding to metals together...I worked for years and a body shop so it is a little easy for me
This is the bumper I got off eBay will fit a 2007 model w203 but not a w204 without some fabrication work to make it fit.
Final imperfection spot putty coating before coating with sealer.
Current bumper inside pieces will be needed in order for this to work
If my collision repair instructor saw me do this lol he would kill me because the bondo should be put on with smooth layer but I have been doing this for so long I can level it out
Last minute adjustment before bonding both bumpers
Side view of last minut adjustments again notice there are no fender changes to a wide body look
