It does not appear they are leaving enough room for the rear suspension to articulate.

I wonder why didn't they do the fenders on an English Wheel instead of the method they chose?

Because that would require sheet metal skills?

I think his color combo is amazing. It's going to look sick with a widebody. Brave move.

"MURDERED OUT" 2005 E55 AMG

WOW!!!!

Ummmm not that I'm an expert, 7 yrs doing body work LOL, but I had the same bright idea on making my old 2001 S4 into a widebody S4(a couple of yrs ago)...would have looked better if started off from rear door(mid section) till tail light, partitioned the front and rear bumpers corners to match the width and also maybe made the side skirts a bit widers cause otherwise the wheels stick out way too far from a top view or even a front view(making it sort of retardedly cartoonish looking lmao)...but just saying...I might be intrigued to do it on my E55 but gotta get a good daily driver first, cause it will take atleast a couple of months for me to do it the right way...
