Widebody SLK on sale in U.S.

California tuning company Rex Accelero has revealed a widebody kit for the SLK 55 that brings the front and rear fenders out by at least 2.5 inches, offering lower-weight replacement parts, special aero pieces and the ability to house much wider wheels.

The kit is pitched as a perfect track-day modification, offering superior grip and weight distribution compared to the standard car. It certainly looks the part.

The SLK no matter what model you buy seems like a chick car...SL is for guys, bigger and beefier...I probally feel that way because every SLK I see on the road is driven by a chick

I share that opinion with you, but I have always had a soft spot for DTM style wide fenders.

the optimistic stfu , it's not riced out at all , it looks just wide and mean , maybe the eyelids are a little too much , but not really the car looks clean , and has nice rims , nothing like those UGLY MANSORY bodykits we've seen , and theoptimistic whats a good taste in your understanding ? a plain audi that looks same every model and you can only tell apart if its an a4 a6 or an a8 by the size of the vehicle ? with a plain boring design ? i think for a tunning car its a pretty badass, not riced out at all, as long as it has a good tuned engine under the hood to back up it's looks.
