Overkill: Lumma Design BMW M5 CLR
Here we have a Lumma Design BMW M5 that was spotted in Dubai outside the Dubai Mall. You may be thinking, overkill? Sure it looks impressive from the outside, but the blinding orange paint would get old after a week or so. Well the matte black stripes look pretty decent for a start, but the new bonnet vents are not the most appealing BMW M5 pieces we’ve seen. So, what exactly makes this BMW M5 CLR 500 RS overkill? Check out the over the top interior and tell me what you think. Carbon fiber is pleasant, but there comes a point where you have to say, “that’s enough.”

Showcasing extreme body work and over the top styling, both these AG Excalibur models were displayed in the test drive pits of Top Marques Monaco 2010. Imagine walking down the sidewalk and seeing massive 30-inch spinning rims on a car that was built to only hold 20’s.

The Japan based tuning company, 3D Design, has launched a custom styling kit for the BMW Z4.

The commercial states that three of Audi’s more popular cars, the S4, A6, and Q5 have all beaten their close rival BMW, in three straight Car and Driver comparison tests. With the styling added to this Audi Q7, it could probably be added to that list if your pockets are deep enough to handle the prices.
SR Auto Group Audi R8 Valkyrie
The SR Auto Group was all about a dark themed Audi R8 when it came to this tuning project. The tuners started off with wrapping the car with matte black car wrap, then added a series of carbon fiber aero parts from PPI.

Their work is amazing and one of the most stunning Aston Martin DB9 models we have ever seen. The car was recently released at the Frankfurt Auto Show and received the attention it deserves. It was completely re-done with all carbon fiber for every piece of the body. Except the rear fenders which couldn’t shape the carbon fiber accordingly, Mansory glued on carbon fiber panels that are two inches wider with adhesive exclusively from Lamborghini.

D3 Cadillac XLR-V
Cadillac XLR-V is probably the most expensive Caddy ever build with a price around $100,000. A lot of people said this car is not luxurious enough to match cars that have same price. Six figures price might be a bit too much for a car that lacks history and gorgeous interior of a Mercedes Benz SL for example. The american tuning company D3 tried to improve this car’s performances and they made a special tuning kit for the engine that already develops 433 HP. They installed a new admission system, modified the car’s exhaust and improved the engine cooling unit.

A couple of years ago West Coast Customs was tuning cars for Pimp My Ride, a tv show that every tuning passionate knows. They modified a lot of awful old cars into dream cars to please the owners but they can also improve new cars like Dodge Charger. They modified a stock Dodge Charger and installed 22″ chrome rims, Eibach suspension system and a new chrome grill. They got some help from Alsa Corp to create a unique paint and the car’s interior was pimped with a lot of accessories. The car theme is based on the Silver Surfer, a movie character from Fantastic Four 2 that appears in more places on this car.
