The white coupe actually looks pretty good. A little too much like a C63 coupe, but still nice. I think it's the angle and lens of the camera that makes it look like the lip juts out too far.
Also... Normandie's car is ricey? This almost invalidates your whole post. Calling a Meisterschaft exhaust ricey...

So adding 4 more exhausts to the tail end of a car isnt ricey in your opinion? Does not matter who makes it... german, italian, japanese, chinese... it is what it is..
And thats the problem with this fourm, but thats just my opinion. People post ricey pictures of their cars.. And people go.. "oh that looks cool" as you just verified. Instead of saying... "wow that kind of looks like something out of the first fast and furious movie " RIP Paul Walker btw

Compare the pictures and see if they are not in fact similar. Just because a ricer lip is on a more expensive car... does not make the expensive car any less ricier than a cheap car.

Yes. Adding 4 more exhaust tips (for a total of 6) to a car is ricey, but the Meisterschaft only has a total of 4, which is only 2 more than stock. Quad tips are a common occurrence in exhausts, OEM and aftermarket.

You've got a lot of nerve ****ting all over a bunch of established members on here when you've been here 3 months. Just because you prefer a stock look doesn't mean everyone else does. Not a single picture you posted in this thread is anywhere near my taste, but I'm not going to go crap all over someone's hard work to make their vehicle their own.
The only person whose opinion matters is the one with their name on the title...

Aren't the wheels on the red Benz OEM wheels from another model? 
The example's you've shown save for the last pic and MAYBE the 4th pic don't really support your argument IMO since 2 of them aren't even Benz's which is what the thread is about.
Also, rear diffusers come stock on the AMG, what makes that less ricey and the exhaust in the 4th pic is Meistercraft (spelling?) which is a well known quality exhaust so again........
I have no issues with people having their own opinions as car modding is about individuality same as opinions but they should at least provide valid support.

As for the exhaust issue, yes if you're adding additional mufflers to a car that only needs one then I can understand, which is exactly why when I bought my Eisenmann I specified that since my car came with one muffler, I only wanted one muffler. However Normandie's car is a C300 which came with dual mufflers so he opted to change to a more aggressive sounding dual muffler set up which uses different tips. He in no way added tips as you talk about.
Full circle around, you want to point and talk your opinions that's fine. But come with substantial support for your talk.

I don't see where he "added 4 more exhausts" to his car. Unless you mean having 4 exhaust tips....well then I guess my car came from the factory riced out, along with a factory rice diffuser

A bit off topic but OP seems like one of those cool guys u pull up next to at a red light and he looks over at u with a smirk as if he is "better " than you In his benz. Until my little baztard Nissan with the Japanese wheels and all this other Japanese jazz spanks the crap out of his cls63 , twin turbo beema , m6 , etc .. I do love my cls55 but damn , it doesn't make me any better of a person nor allows me to pass judgement on others cars.
Respect before u get embarrassed pulling up next to me at the red light in my $500 Nissan youngboy!

I do somewhat agree with the aftermarket rim statement- but if you don't like how the car looks- don't look at it.
BTW- Glyn...That picture is making me HOT!!!!

Think of it this way if you have to: seeing a rachet W204 SHOULD make you even happier with yours. At the very least, the unmolested versions should have superior resale?
Its just a car, after all.

If you're talking about the red car, then yes. I agree that that lip looks ricey. But on the white car, I would not say so, because the lip actually complements the lines of the car. It's all subjective, really, but I see what you're saying.
Yes. Adding 4 more exhaust tips (for a total of 6) to a car is ricey, but the Meisterschaft only has a total of 4, which is only 2 more than stock. Quad tips are a common occurrence in exhausts, OEM and aftermarket.
