Not sure how I feel about this...

I always like when I'm out and about and I see an FC or FD. I stopped in to the local Mercedes dealership to pick up parts for my wife's car and I saw this sitting outside the service area.

Not sure how I feel about it... In some ways I think it looks pretty funky, and I've thought I've just about every mod out there for FC's, but never this one, and in other ways I think that these light covers kind of ruined the lines of the car that I fell in love with a long time ago.

What is everyone's opinions? Has anyone ever seen these before?

Racing BEat used to produce that front end. I forget what it's called, but there was a guy on here a little while ago who had an FC with it.

It's not my car, just one that I saw out and about...
I don't think the dealership, or authorities for that matter would appreciate if I were to "burn it with fire."

I do like the rims and paint scheme.....the bumper and headlight thingie, not so much. I agree with the OP it kinda changes the lines of the car, elongates the front bumper, etc

if the nose was same length as the stock bumper it might look good.

and probably ditch the black things in front of the headlights. i can take a guess they server a purpose like the blinkers, but as it is...its terrible.

LoL. I've seen that front only in the old racing beat catalogue I have, but never in person. Its comforting to know it looks as brutal out in real life as it did in the catalogue.
