not bad, not feeling the wings or spoiler, but the widebody job looks pretty decent

may i add the rims too. those don't really match the car imo, and look very similiar to the ones on the SC430...
oh and the brake light integrated onto trunk is a creative idea.

It's original....I think I may like it without the rims and spoiler. The front of the car in that second picture...I don't know.

Just my though.

It's well done, but, IMO, ugly. The exhaust pipes border on fart cans, the fender flares ruin the lines of the car as do the rain guards on the windows. All he needs to complete it is a hood scoop.

I think the kit looks decent, but it seems like he tried too hard to make it a Benz... Dump the rims and the front grille and it wouldn't look half bad.

You sire it 5;gs to do the wide body because fender flares are cheap and putting it i am sure doesnt cost that much. maybe 5 g's is parts and labor for the total of wide body AND the kit iself . since the kit itself will rin you almost 2g's but damn 5g's for wide body, i dont know about that

That grill is a Blaze grill, which IMHO is one of the best looking grills available for the TL. If you check out Neoblaze website, you'll see that all the modded cars have this grill. That's their signature look.

Nope, that's certainly ain't the reason. I'd like to know why too, maybe Ken1997TL can provide some hints as to why? Does it have to do with the "other" website?

itz for his full exterior body those flares go into the bodykit and onto the doorpanels too. i talked to they owner of the bodyshop that the car is sittin in now.

i like the idea of the painted visors tho

I do like the Blaze grille, it gives the front a very classy appearance, but I don't like the whole look of the car with all the skirts and whatnot. I do give the creator endless amounts of credit for trying something different, however.

damn thats steep jsut for wide body. The body shop charge him alot for tht then. I think I can get the same $hit done for 1/4 of the price. anyhow. Looks good. I like it EXCEPT the rims.

adding fender flares does NOT equal a wide body. good ideas... just not put together very well.

I am assuming that the fender flares are for aesthetic value and to accomodate wider wheels.

is there a point were wider tires become useless on a fwd? also, from a strictly performance perspective, would it be beneficial to have wider front tires with narrower in the rear(on a fwd)?

btw, theres a few things i dont like about the car, spoiler, visors and rims are questionable, but overall you have to respect the workmanship and i think that the final product looks great overall.

well considering that they arent just STUCK on but molded on 5k is a decent price to have every thing molded. there is alot of detail work that went into it.

if you look past the wheels the car looks pretty good

hmm, im not feeling it. it just doesnt look right. maybe with a better kit/wing/rims it would work. props for the uniqueness though. i am trying to do a similar integrated third brake light in the trunk thing.
