MKB Special Wide Body W211
http://www.mkb-challenging2005.com/MKB-RSE.htm 
Since when did MKB start making ricer body kits?
My jaw dropped when I looked at this thing. While the performance maybe awesome, the widebody is actually too much for me to handle.

Exactly. Looks like a widebody ricer Celica to me......
However, I dig the engine and drive train mods and the wheels though. Put those in the beast with the original body kit, you have one hell of a fast sedan. Also, MKB does not only produce HP increase, it also reinforce the transmission so that it would be able to handle the power. Now, that's an art, not brute force.

i think the fender flares are nice, all they have to do is get rid of those vents! and reduce the "wide bodyness" of the flairs and to make the front air splitter(if thats what it is) more conservative and i think they would have an awsome body kit, but of course just my opinion
wtf is that! sombody get a gun and put it out of its misery!

Very ugly kit but I'm sure it functions exactly the way it's supposed to.
Thank God, Finally a company that sells a proper LSD unlike like the CRAP that Kleeman sells, I can't believe people are actually installing those. Just to let folks know that is a very similar product to what is made for Honda they call it the Phantom Grip LSD and it sells for around $150 USD.

ugly but the performance seems phenomenal on paper. the forged internals, changed valvetrain, supercharger modification and lubrication system sound expensive. i bet the whole perfroamnce package itself (besides bodykit) is probably 50g's? but you have one hell of a strong motor. mkb does quality work no doubt but it's expensive. too bad the bodykit isn't up to par with the classiness and subtle stylishness that is characteristic of mkb.

as a whole, the Vaeth car is looking very good. the V58K, 620hp 620trq (a bit low compared to others?) 5.8 motor, subtle widebody (maybe too subtle), and now offer carbon front spoiler and rear diffuser insert. clean, except the 6 exhaust tips...

Just out of curiousity anyone know the price of these Kleeman "LSD"?
