first off, the FIBERGLASS in the title gives is all away. Fiberglass fits like ***** and the paint cracks off of it too easily.

this is probably a moot point, but , damn...that kit looks like a$$....

I agree...this kit is not nice looking at all....maybe if you look at it from behind but once you come around it .. it looks really bad. It's a moch CLK63 DTM AMG.

This is what they tried to do but failed horribly:

The only company that sells a nice looking wide body kit is Renntech in Florida. Their kit has smooth lines and is tastefully sporty. I toyed with the idea to widen my rear end only right before I bought my first 3 pc wheels about 2 years ago but they wouldn't just give me the rear end parts they wanted me to buy the whole kit and the kit was over $10,000. I wanted to get a custom 12" wide rear wheel set up with a 6" lip. It's probably just better to have a body shop weld some rear fender flare quater panels on to acheive a nice smooth wide body look.

Don't put a wide body kit on any 208...they only look decent on the 209 body style..

You really like the lunch box transfomer look ha. To boxy for me...but I think the only way it would look right is if they had some better wheels and if the wheels were at least flush with the kit. Thay kit needs a 13" wide wheel with like a zer0mm offset to make it really come out to the edge of the fenders cuz it looks incomplete.

I just ran into this in case you guys wanted better pictures of this kit. The wheels look so ugly with those tires on them. The car needs to be slammed with 20's and better looking tires and the grill looks so stupid painted silver. Plus the rear fenders are horrible...they need to be smoothed out with the body with no vented side scoop sticking out like a 1980's top vent on a Dodge Van Conversion.

check it out:

I just think the polygon kit is closest to the DTM look.
I agree better wheels.

Besides the wheels, thats not looking to bad.

That ebay kit though isn't as nice. I like the DTM look but the ebay one looks lumpy?

DONT buy anything from that guy. I got stuck with 4 bumpers that fit horribly from that guy. Plus that kit is rediculously ugly!

I dont sell bumpers, I just organized a group buy with Felix at EuroPassion.

Those lips you mentioned are for the 320 bumpers.

I really want a wide body clk but havent seen any I liked.
