I was just looking at some of the its available from erebuni and nrauto, and I was wondering what others think.

Here is the first option:




or:




or:




I kind think the last set looks like something from Gotham City. The first one looks real elegant, and the Evo II looks nice, except I really didn't like the SL conversion hood and the wheels he put on them. Any other inputs?!?!

The first one isn't bad at all. But I have to be honest, I think the other two are over the top. Gotham is a great way to describe the third. The second reminds me of this Honda Civic I see a local kid driving around. If the wing was much larger he'd knock out his headlights every time he opened the trunk. But that's just my taste, I tend to like subtle and sleek over bulky and flashy.

I like the first one the best. Its not too much but enough to get your attention. The Evo II kit is nice but can do w/o that huge spoiler. The third one is outdated. The sides looks like a died out '80's trend that Ferrari started. Of course, on a Ferrari it still looks good. I personally like the 16V body kit that came stock. Of course my opinion may seem a bit biased. But again, the first one looks nice. If you can do the EVO II w/o saying, "EVERYONE LOOK AT ME!!" Then that kit looks nice too. For example instead of that big spoiler, a touring wing looks nice. Well, good luck.

Number one, definately. Though I'd go chrome with the grille (in that particular color anyway), as the black draws too much attention to it IMHO.

The bat-car and testabenz were undoubtedly bad investments...

Charlie:

You missed one -- the AMG kit from NR Auto; that's the one I'd go with. I used to own a 1984 190E-8V with full (authentic) AMG body kit, 16" AMG rims painted to match (Anthracite), hood grill/frame painted to match, and "AMG" and "190E" badges painted to match, Recaro seats, wood kit, AMG exhaust -- it was one Bad-ass ride!

Brian,

I'd like to chat with you off the post regarding that AMG. I own an '83 Euro that sounds a lot like what you had. ekamas@sssnet.com

A waste of good polymer, yes---unless you happen to get a real EVO II.
