It's not so much the gaudy kit design, as it is the sloppy execution and lack of attention to detail.

Maybe it's the marginal quality of the pics, but it looks as if it was built in some high school shop class garage.

Some kid who would have otherwise settled for a used Accord will probably be "rollin" soon...

I'd like to see how they got a V8 in there. Probably a Chevy if it is a V8.

Actually, those look like the (rare) leather seats that were available in the W123's.

maybe they are...but they look exactly like the crap i have in my car,MB Tex....i hate that stuff....why the hell would you put that in a $40,000 vehicle? i know the seats have squeaked since it was new,because i rode in it quite often....if there was one thing i could change about my car,it would be installing some plush leather seats,maybe in a two-tone design

enough ranting....maybe that car does have leather,but it still looks horrendous to me....i never understood the whole bodykit thing...i think it totally kills the look of any car,except maybe a SEC AMG Widebody or a BMW M3

I think it's cool. I wouldn't especially want it but i don't like rag tops. OTOH, someone put a lot of heart and passion into the old girl. Whats amater with that?

Does this mean you need to be an expert to fix it?
