the bodykit is made by japanese company called fabolous? i guess you've heard it...then he customized it by making it widebody to fit in his 20x9,5 front and 20x10,5 rear. He also put red leather interior inside and some screen too...that's some straight up indo style..

well actually here in Indonesia we do things a liitle out of the way...the widebody was done by cutting the fender and putting a 5mm steel plate and do some mechanic work and body work you got yourself a widebody...yes u canfit 20's on a w124...and yes that's when the widebody works...especially if you put extra width wheell...u can try go to find their url www.fabulous.co.jp...i can help you get the replica kit made by PFRP (perforated Fiber Reinforced Plastic) stronger than fiber glass.

well mostly for the fender mods you really need to sacrifice your fender to be cut and then put a steel plate to make it wide body...honestly i have to check with the kit factory...the tire size that he is running is 245/35/ZR20 all around..if you really interested i can find out for you how that cost including shipping...if fabolous didn't have it you can try to e-mail them and ask them to make it for you but i believe that will cost like hell, the replica kit is just another solutions that i'm offering....the eyebrow i can get it for you let check the price for you also

i think the same way like you too...but for me i'll go with 19" they still can be fit without any modification at all...just to rolled the fender if you want to have a drop like that...hehehehe....okay i'll check the price around first and i'll let you know...no problem man...i can see it already...btw what kind of wheels do u want to put anyway?? brabus mono 3 would be so nice too...or do u want me to find a wheels for you also...coz the wheel price here in Jakarta very2 cheap compared to the state and we have a different kind of wheels that they don't have it in the state i'll inform you the price for the kit first...anyway, have u install HID? i can find it for you too.

19's fit with no problems? what kinda skins can u fit on those like the biggest size without problems? Im buying 2 inch lowering coils , if i went with 19's would that force me to roll the fenders? ( i have no idea what rolling the fenders is) I need the biggest set of skins possable because the roads in my city arent the best in some areas, my area unfortunatly and i dont wanna mess up my rims. Right now i have 17'' AMG mono block replicas which are getting pollished before spring time. But those rims are tiny and i wanna roll something big like 19's i drive my car alot and need durable rims and good rubber on them to keep me safe. Ill check out that website right now and ill get back to ya about that, again i cant say it enough, thank you for all ur help ive never received so much information and helpful tips on this forum yet. later man
