Anyone seen this widebody SL bodykit in person?
I'm going to do a widebody SL65 for my next build and am considering all the available body kits available. I think I've decided to do a phantom Black Series convertible and want one that's a pretty close representation of the BS bodywork. It'll have a few extra carbon parts here and there, and a really nice set of wheels/tires, and powertrain mods to put it ahead of a real BS in a drag race
I like the LED strips on the front bumper of this one, and I like that it has a full rear quarter panel instead of bonding composite onto metal like some others do. However it all comes down to quality of the pieces, and there is a huge range when it comes to aftermarket parts. Some build possum burger and some build top sirloin, and it all looks the same in pictures. Did anyone see this one at SEMA , or have any experience with the company?

That particular car is currently for sale on e-bay with a buy it now price of $115,000. If you google images by the web site address, you can find his Flicker account which has 100's of photos.
I personaly think it's the best looking kit I've seen. Here's a link to a video of it.

Seem like a quality one. U won't be sorry if u put that kit on ur ride. Every time when u look it up will give u a result in smiling (trust me I know true story). Call me crazy I got myself a veilside black fortune vs kit. I know it's pricy but I m happy with it now planning to mod it up. Not mch just LTH, ecu, tcu, lsd n airbox n cooling as well. PULL THE TRIGGER!

You mean the rear arches above the wheels? They're supposed to be sharp like that. All the aftermarket wide bodies seem to have the rear flares about an inch lower then MB did it.. Don't know why.
The wheels don't go well with the car IMO. They made them specific for this car as well.

The SPDV6 kit has a lot of differences vs real Black Series (1) Rear fender arches are indeed much lower (2) Actual angle of Rear arched/flairs is way too extreme, making it look very different & thicker upon closer inspection (3) The front fender air opening much smaller (4) Front bumper is much different in Size & Shape if you study it (5) Front fender flairs are also different in angle & actual size, they're quite a bit smaller/less width than real Blk Ser.. There's a bit more but you get the idea..
