$108k body kit?

Have you guys heard of Henrik Fisker and Bernhard Koehler? They build custom cars, so far based off of the SL55 and BMW 6 series? What do you guys think?

I'm actually more interested in their wheels. Have you guys seen anyone with these wheels on our cars? I like the 10 spokes.

A Fisker is much, much more than just a body kit. Based of an SL55 and BMW 6-Series platform, the cars are sent to Kleemann for some serious performance upgrades and they get a whole new interior design. I saw a brief discussion of these cars on TV and they are no joke - these things make some serious numbers.

Yeah I agree, it definitely looks like quality craftsmanship. But I can't say I like the body design more than the AMG, the front reminds me of a Maserati and the back reminds me of a Subaru for some reason.

I like the designs a lot, especially on the 6-series. Give me an M6 with that body!! However, it is very difficult to justify that expense on a re-bodied car.
