SL63
wide body

VITT is a rarely discussed Japanese tuner with a penchant for producing widebody Mercedes-Benz street and show cars. Since widebody Benzes are hard to come by already and JDM tuned Benzes are even rarer,

I like the treatment around the lower lights on the front end.

Yes
Nice....never thought I'd see the offspring of a Benz and Tuner

I'd buy it, but not without a VTec badge.

Hmmm they have multi versions this 1 for 07-08 AMG bodied looks SWEET! Minus the Front lip under bumper, I'd gladly buy the rest of this body kit what the hell do their prices = in USD? Super Wide Edition Full Aero \1,050,000 Imagine this w/Satin black wheels...








Look's like they left the front fenders alone? Or ever so slightly enlarged them over stk, & only blew out the rears/side-skirts...Def much better than the full marshmellow version in the 1st post...
