I'm trying to do a focus group study to find out if there is significant interest in a cosmetic conversion from the current R129 to the upcoming R230. The conversion would include front and rear treatment entirely in carbon fiber. Stock headlamps and tail-lamps would be used. Any and all comments are appreciated. Thanks! <br>

Not interested in that type of work for Benz but other kind of cars...

This is just my opinion, but I can see wanting to do it for spicing up cheaper sportscars (on the verge of 'ricing' but I personally don't like all-out ricing), or replicars of classics. Heck, I wouldn't even mind it myself to consider a Lambo replicar. But IMO, I wouldn't be interested in seeing body mods to Benzs like that.
