Looks amazing but it's not that radical, alot of SLs are having that "makeover" done. None the less it is just epic, don't know about the silver wheels but that Black style widebody is

looks a little boy racer IMO, but I do like the wider flare on the rear.

Probably a dumb question, but when people install a widebody kit with new wheels and tires, is the handling compromised in any way?
It would seem to me that the dished wheels would have to have some effect on the ackerman, and possibly the damping due to pushing the center of the contact patch further outboard from stock.

Looks good...just as long as it is matched to a proper engine (55k, 600, or 65). I just think its too much of a poseur situation when you don't have the giddy-up behind the wide body look.

Kind of like a Ferrari kit on a Fiero...just my .02.

I was liking it a lot until I got to the aerial shot of the interior and then I kind of threw up in my mouth a little. Yech!

The only thing i'd do differently is change the wheels to a tinted clearcoat or gunmetal with gloss black barrels. Otherwise, it's perfect!
