I also feel you should add doors, prefereably elongated suicide ones similar to the 8. Are the fenders flared?

The windows looks sort of weird, because the stock window curves downward to meet the lines of the stock door. Along with the handle, it would look better if you could modify the stock window to flow with the longer car it is now. However, if you were to add pillars, I feel they should all flow at the same positive angle, into final suicide doors, all of wich will align with the angle of the rear hatch.

Also, the car could use some exotic design as other limos have, unless the look you are going for is simply a "long 7".





Note the chrome lining and lights around the windows. Get a bit more fancy.

thats cool it doesnt look as weird in person as it does in the pics i live 5 mins from pettit in north palm beach. i like the pic with the a-pillar it looks more factory and goes with the car. imo whatever windows you put it will improve the look of the car

World's fastest limo? You are gonig to have a hard time beating this one:

http://www.jetlimoracing.com/

I know, I know, that is not a real limo (since nobody can sit in the back), but they claim the world record (391 mph).

Getting back to the window topic, I personally like CCarlisi's version the best.

Someone might have said it already, put some rear doors in that sucker. It'll give you functional windows and some way to get into it rather than crawling through the front doors.

ps, LOSE THE WING it's hideous. that car also needs a new front bumper sooooo bad. i also think some extra long carbon fiber side skirts (feed style) would look great as accents down the side.
