the Sl 65 Wide Body by Expression Motorsport

Hello,

We are the belgian tuning company specialized in Mercedes Benz cars.

We are proud to show the pictures of our new SL65 wide body.

We add a fender flare set on the front and on the rear.

This package provides an aerodynamic finish. A modification that both widen the overall stance of the car and allows for the fitment of larger wheels.

Wheels are 255/30ZR20 on the front and 305/24zr20 on the rear.

Regards.

I'll be honest... it doesn't look too bad, but it still looks like a typical taped-on Honda body kit. I think it would look much better if the seams were filled in, smoothed and painted. I'm not a fan of the rear vents either.

On most cars it would look ok the way it sits, but not on a SL.

Eh, it's not too bad, but I was running those size tires on my stock body (with no problem).

im sorry but this is truly atrocious. i dont want to slam you or say your product is of bad quality but from a purely aesthetic standpoint it looks like 5 retards with some crazy glue went ape **** on an sl. again i am not trying to say that the quality itself is bad nor that your company employees mentally handicapped people but you guys definitely need to work on the "flow" and the seams...it totally takes away from the sl's naturally curvaceous persona and makes it feel flat and somehow limited like casting sarah jessica parker as "the pretty one;" she is clearly a "personality girl" and you shouldnt do that to our beloved sl. the sl is clearly the most popular girl in school and you are putting her in a pair of timberlands and giving her a neck tattoo; it just looks "off." and imho if it looks "off" then dont try tweaking it; just cut the losses and start from scratch. sorry for being harsh, just want to save you from spending $ on production and taking a big old turd on your brand name.

Ahem..Gentlemen....gentlemen.. Upon further reflection I believe I was a tad hasty if
they were to toss in a Whitman-Sampler along w/FREE 3-M Double sided tape needed for install? This could be a Game Changer
