Widebody E55k w/Pearl paint job

Just met the guy that made this car in Santa Barbara @ My mechanic's shop
his name Keith Robison I got his phone # Address if anyones interested I just got th little pic' I blew it up on my scanner he's got more...
He can do this to: Any Car Any model benz! it does cost though all Quality work No crappy fiberglass...Pure custom Metal Work...

I'm thinking about it for my S class but it'll cost about $15-16,000k
From what he told me the car belongs to some rich guy here in SB I've seen it before on the streets AWESOME!! Maybe I forged wheels + 295' rear
It's 2004 E55k was original black, had it totally redone in a 3 coat Pearl esent(Like the Cadilac color)...

The widebody actually looks good. They're not that aggressive looking, but the side skirts looks damn fugly!!!

The pearl paint compliments the E55 well, but the body kits and even the wheels have to go.

There's just something wrong with the rear flares. Maybe it's the fugly side skirts that make them look weird???? I would be pretty disapointed if I had spent $16k for that!

The sideskirts are nasty, and I'm not a fan of widebody conversions. I'll pass.

It might look ok if he left the AMG skide skirts and had much nicer wheels.

Sean's Sister--
those side skirts throw off the flow of the car.......he should have stayed with all lorinser or all amg........

hard to tell how the paint job from the pic but i'm sure it looks clean but it needed a more of a flare.....for all that metal work i say he should have gone wider.....he must have spent well over 15k on it.......
