Or on a Mercedes.
Maserati disagrees:

I'm would rather not have a car that looks like the parts are super glued on (side wheel arch extensions) which is why most of the kits seem less than ideal. The hood looks decent but I'd rather not have the fin type things on it. Not sure about the quad exhaust unless it was a 4 from headers all the way from the back instead of 4-2-1-2-4 exhaust. I'm a fan of single exit center aligned exhausts but that's probably because I owned an Elise for a while.

I'm not sure how I feel about it. Can't wait to see it on a car to be sure.

Really REALLY dig that stacked exhaust. Purely for styling of course. I'd love it more if it was only on the driver side. 200hp doesn't need four pipes.

The fender add-ons aren't my thing, but the rear treatment might look good with the Tom's front lip. Anybody else think so?

Pretty soon people will be able to play mix-and-match with all kinds of nifty exterior pieces!

The front bumper is good. But the side skirts and rear fenders don't seem to flow with the car, and even seem to have contempt for the car's lines.

The spoiler is cool looking. But I'd have to see it from behind to see if it really carries the vertical lines of the fenders properly.

I like the rear bumper/diffuser, though I'm not sure I like the quad tips. It might be because Ferrari and Lexus have kind of soured that design by having fake tips. Not sure.. What I'd love to see is a bespoke axle-back with a low profile muffler can to allow for an actual diffuser.
ditto

Looks good for the most part but exhaust is way too tacky.

Is it me or all these kits that have been released are overly aggressive (not saying they look bad) and require a lot of permanent body work such as cutting fenders, drilling, etc, and look like they belong more in showroom than on the street. I prefer a clean and subtle kit or addons that can be easily removed and return the car back to stock IMO.

No, I don't like it either. Messy. Cluttered. Tacked on. Just my opinion though.
