Spotted this SL55 with body kit

have to say i really don't like the look. way to busy for me. not sure if it has performance mods but don't think so. i can kinda forgive a crazy body kit on a tuned car but to do this to a stock car seems stupid to me. (no offense if if the owner is on the board)

your thoughts?

Looks like a Lorinser body kit with chromed Brabus Monoblock S knock-offs..

Total Failure in my book! Why even change the AMG body kit??

I think this kit is also too busy. Most body kits loose the unique look of sport luxury SL's are known for.

2005 SL55 Completely Built Motor
Good job fixing the wheels. I think I would put some spacers on the rear or run a larger size tire in the rear.
