Sorry. Im saying that both kits look exactly the same. But one is labelled Ricercato(the silver car) and the other Kranze(the black car). Just wondering if they have anything in common as a company. (Parent company?? Joint effort?? etc)

I think the black car has Kranze on it because it has Kranze wheels.

I notice that in the VIP car magazine, the wheel companies use cars with body kits from another companies and they have little prints saying something like "Special thanks to xxxx".

Whoa. Quad Exhaust Tips!!!

Actually, I kinda prefer the look of the stock dual. But I do like the quad on the M3. Go figure.

RIcercato?? Does it really stand for "rice"?? No way!! Haha.

BTW... those chicks are hot!

I may be wrong, but i'm on the same page as you. The Black car has Kranze wheels w/ a Ricerato Kit where the Silver car has Amistadt wheels w/ a Ricerato kit... (IMO of course)

Okay, thanks for clearing all of that up.


Anyway, here is the site. Full credit goes to lawman for finding it. I assume yall can order the parts for the car here. I believe the quad exhausts costs around 2 grand. So if you got the coin, GO FOR IT.

It doesn't get much better than the rear bumper on the Ricercato kit. The straight on shot of the front bumper looks great but the angled view doesn't look as nice....is it just me?

I don't think the front bumper looks better than the factory one, IMO I think the factory front end is one of the highlights of this car the body lines look great I might throw a simple lip kit on but that's!
