rahter tasteful in comparison to the wing and sticker types.

if i wasnt such a staunch proponent of stealth (completely stock looks, massive performance!) id be all over it.

the air dam/spoiler pieces look like they are from a r129.

maybe they [r129 spoiler] would bolt up?

the lights are a huckin' joke if you ask me...imo, well never mind.

as if a benz need another tri star...

the stickers and spoiler aren't for grown-ups. yes, i said it

it looks good

in the pics. does the hood come as one piece? and is that sl headlights? the front end looks tasteful in the pic but if it is a tack on instead of a full hood i wouldnt want it. i dont think. i wouldnt want the spoiler, and i cant actually tell what the side stuff is doing.

but the hood looks nice.

the expression kit is R129 styled...

The lights are the standard euros. the hood simply covers part of them.

Performance products I believe sells these,

That's the way it looks to me too. Forget that! I happen to like being able to see at night. In the small pics it looked nice but in the larger ones where I could see the fog/driving lights covered I just about puked. ICK.

fog lights

all the kit does is cover up the fog lights so when they are on they shine through the grill for added effect. It's not for everybody I guess.

Personally, I prefer to retain the E-class grille on the W124, rather than the one with the SL look.

This thread shows some great looking W124 coupes with different body kits...

What Looks Better For A C124 Front End?, Front Bumper Spoiler
