Widebody W211
I had my friend drive my car to the body shop to get some things done, and while I was behind him driving, I did notice that the car looks so narrow...After thinkin about custom widebodies, I was thinkin about doing something subtle and nothing crazy like that CLK DTM. Something like that Domanig widebody but a custom one. Here is a pic for those that haven't seen it before...
And as far as wheels, since I really like my wheels right now, just send them back to get a bigger barrel and more of a lip
So what do you guys think? The back of the Domanig looks good but I think I would make the front stick out a lil more. Opinions?

I'm torn. I think of coupes when someone mentions widebodies. The e-class is such a classy car I wouldn't want to mess with it. As long as it isn't overdone and the work is flawless, it could work.
We'll support your decision, go for it.

Enzo, my Benzo
I personally think the 55 should be more easily distinguishable through more muscle in the body work.
Gone are the good ole days when you saw a 500E coming with its aggressive stance and wide fender flares. You KNEW it was a special, *****-out car compared to other W124's. I was disappointed when they released the W210 E55 and W211 E55K with no noticable differences in the sheet metal.
I'd do it FOR SURE!

widebody / fender flares
It's not a bad idea...just depends on how much it will cost to do the widebody mod.
What does come to mind when you showed these pics are the Audi A6 4.2 model from 2000 thru 2004 model yr...which has a wider body look compared to the regular A6s... also the RS6 model, which I'm sure you are aware of.
I owned a A6 4.2 and loved the look of that car...even compared to the current A6 model. The car is still in the family.

P.s. I know of you from the acura forums... Do u still have the TL?
