Your opinions on the Lorinser fenders...

What are your opinions on these fenders?
I think they look really cool sometimes, while other times they look a little too flashy to me. I've heard people call them rice, which I think is ridiculous. They may be flashy, but hardly ricey in my opinion.

If money was not an issue, would that change your opinion? Say they were offered as an option on your CLK at no additional charge.....would you get them?

I am debating whether or not I should get them for my silver 430. I bought Peter's DTM kit, and I was wondering if I should go with the fenders as well. Here are some more pics on a silver car.....

You bought Peter's DTM kit??? What did you end up paying for it. I almost bought that damn thing. Let me know how much paint and install costs you.

My opinion on the fenders are it definately adds an additional custom look to it, makes it look wild and adds some flare, but it sort of takes away from the sleek classy look of the CLk. But you'll definately get more attention!

Too much cash for ugly Flash....They kind of look like Santa Ana specials on the CLK, IMHO. Plus they are not cheap.
Spend the dough on Pulleys or a Lorinser Deck Lid or something...

i'd have to agree - they are wild and not as clean, but for those who want more attention, this is a good way to do it...

BTW i have lowered the price to 1800 for the pair - if anyone is interested please feel free to contact me.

They retail for 1680/each.
