Front does look really nice. Frank, you need to be a friend and tell him that that partial lettering thing on the back looks, um, different, not in a good way.

Looks good! 
I say paint the lower grille inserts gunmetal or titanium. It'll keep the flow with the Carbon Fiber hood. Just my .02

Guess I'm gonna be the lone voice of dissention on this one...
The side skirts and tires are really great, so is the drop job - but that hood, those spoilers, and the badges?
Not feelin it. But that's just me.

doesn't seem like he saw i posted this for him yet, so I'll respond for him. lol
badging's not that bad. It's how Expression does it. but it's missing a "1" next to the C on the left side.
lower mesh is painted black. pictures are taken with the sun setting and directly in front of the car.

thanx frank....sorry i was at school...so i didn't see it till now...haha..thanx again!
thanx for the comments and feedbacks....i was thinking about debadging but then..makes the whole car look too dark from the back and considering buying the s-class tailights thou...so i'll put that into consideration....only reason i badged it like that was because i saw it on the Expression site...
regarding the inserts, i don't know why it looks like that...i had them painted black as well and maybe it was just the sunlight's reflection...
next plan is to remove the molded trunk spoiler and get the c55 style w/ molding...and i think that would look better.
thanx again for all your comments....much appreciated!
