V12- what do you think of those wheel cover things on the EV12 in your pic?? \Even in carbon they remind me of that honda - insight maybe? I can't remember, but as big of a Brabus fan as I am, I just couldn't love it...

Btw, congrats on your wedding. Why S. America? beach wedding?

They spend tons of money on their development and they are definitely geared towards high speeds. Just my .02

Would I use it on my car...no way in hell..LOL.

Tom is the hot shot getting married in S America. I will let him answer that question.

Haha, yeah, I guess that was what I was getting at. I could never have that on my car, but I do believe Brabus probably had this car in the windtunnel for hours and hours before they made the decision to put those things on there tho. What would you even call them?
