I like it. Not crazy like some other widebody's I've seen but very subtle and clean none the less...Maybe almost too subtle...

Enzo, my Benzo
I LOVE it. The W124 500E500's wide fenders really set the car apart and gave it extra aggressiveness, something the W210 and W211 lack(ed)...

A W211 E55 widebody is as close to 4 door perfection as one could get IMO

Looks good. With the wider stance, it should help with the handling issue.

Why go for a widebody kit when you can go custom and do it however you wanna do it :v

type in "domanig" in google and click on widebody on left of page. and if they sell raw extensions it would cost less than a guy fabricating all 4 by hand.

Very nice, I don't know about those rims, but the widebody itself is very nice.

Thanks guys. Now my Kleemann Stage 1 might have to wait a little longer. I'm going to find out how much this is. If the price is right, then you might seeyin a widebody E55 real soon...

This is perfect because I was planning on gettin new rims. If I do decide to get the widebody then I can get rims according to the widebody. Maybe I should just get the barrels changed out on my HRE's and save some money???

That Domanic wide body conversion cost 25-30.000,00 Euro and can only be made at his place in Frankfurt area Germany.

Now are these just fender add on's or the whole fender? I converted the price of 30,000 Euros ( please correct me if I'm wrong) but that is about $39,760 dollars. That seems a little steep for fenders no???

I was expecting something cobbled up and overdone, but this looks very clean indeed! Impressive!

THAT is subtle? Looks like inadequate tire/fender clearance as well. And 40K?

That looks simply amazing. Lets all do a group buy at a centrally located body shop. First debadge your car and stick a Hyundai tag on it and then see what kind of price you get.

check out the Vaeth widebody. very similar. you know actually it would probably be more economical to do it custom widebody, and just use Vaeth and this one for reference. the rims are Cargraphic domaniq i think. they have lots of new exhausts for benzes

I'm not so fond of widebody kits, but this one looks pimp! The rear flares, wheel sizing, and the drop are all nicely dialed in!!!! Too bad those rims look fugly as hell!
