Rex Accelero, a California tuning company, has unveiled a widebody kit for the SLK 55 that gives the vehicle a broader and more aggressive stance. The front and back fenders are 2.5 and 2.75 inches wider respectively allowing the car to house much wider wheels which gives the vehicle better grip and weight distribution when compared to the standard SLK. The kit will also offer a carbon fiber lip and rear diffuser in order to maintain the minimum weight but keeping its strength. The kit takes weight off the front of the standard SLK bringing it close to the desirable 50/50 weight distribution between the front and rear. Seperate extras that are available to match the kit include a hood and rear spoiler. The company eventually plans to offer a complete mechanical upgrade at a later date to go along with the body kit. Pre-orders for the body kit begin next week on September 1st. Prices aren’t available yet.
