I gotta be real with some of you cats

...some of you guys gotta quit effin' up your Benzo...seriously. I like the mods in some of these cars, but there is a point where you have to stop, respect the car you have and not try to make it more than it should be. This is a Mercedes-Benz...you with me? This isn't a Honda Civic. Keep the mods discreet. The beauty is in doing a little and getting a lot.

Why is it any of your business what people do with their cars? There are many Mercedes' on the streets that are not modded, why do you come to a forum that is based on enthusiasts that more than likely like to mod their cars? I just don’t get why you come here and post useless posts, unless of course you just would like to get bashed. Anyway have fun.

People on here are not going to take this statement well. Generally though my personal taste would agree with you. I do not like mods for the most part, I prefer a stock/OEM look. It's all about what someone wants out of their car.

I dont know where you coming from but I think a lot of Benz in the forum mods are discreetly and tastefully done. We all repect our benz thats why we dont put an Enkei wheels or a Combat body kit on our rides...you know what i am sayin bro?

But i do agree that at some point you gotta stop before it get ricey but i doubt that people who read the forums will ever rice out their car because we all share opinion about whats hot and whats not on benzo....thats why this forum exists bro.

hmmm, let the flaming begin. useless post, keep your comments to your self on this subject, you'll learn this quickly. not everyone has the same taste as you. i might flame you for not slamming your car on 19s. everyone has their own style/flare when it comes to their car, and lastly, post pics of your whip and see the response before you put yourself out here like this.

My post was in reference to the minority of cars that I've seen here. I really do like a ton of the sleds I've seen...but some of them are just too much. When the car starts not looking like a Benz, I think it's too much. This is just my opinion, fellas. And since this is a discussion forum, I thought i'd throw it out there.

I'll snap some pics of my car and I'll throw them out here later so that you can proceed in ripping me a new one.

People like to mod their cars. From simple things like door pins to complicated like adding a supercharger to a NA engine, it is all art. You can love or hate the "art", but please, never disrespect the artist.

Everyone has seen mods that they like, and might add to their ride. Other mods might not be your slice of heaven, but that does not give anyone the right to say "that does not belong on a Benz."

Here's some advice for you since your momma obviously didnt raise you right:

1) You dont walk in someone's house for the first time and tell them you think they have bad taste and that their choice in paint colors is discusting.

2) You dont come on a forum for the first time and tell them you think they have bad taste and that their choice in mods is discusting.

I'm sure you'll make a lot of friends around here with that attitude.*
