It says V8 Kompressor but the grill below it looks pretty photochopped.

Thats not the IWC thats just Iridium Silver. The IWC is a Gun Metal color, much darker(and nicer) than this. The emblem is a V8 Kompressor emblem because this is a CLS55. The grill below the emblem doesnt exist except with photoshop unless its some custom deal and the crome taillight trim looks like total ***! LOL!

I'd say it is photoshop. The only thing that's a bit confusing to me:

traumadoc, how can you actually see a "photochopped" car in Chicago (!) (hopefully, you weren't smoking tooo much that day.. -just kiddin' ) or is it me who's spending too much time in front of this freakin' computer that makes it impossible for me to read a simple post..?

that's the SL side fins. I believe it's a stick on. You can purchase those from performance products for 129.00 a pair. kinda cheesy if you ask me.

I agree, the side fins belong on the SL ONLY!!

It look kinda Chrysler 300ish with that. Don't do that to a CLS!!

Not to mention the chrome door inserts behind the handle.

Someone is showing all the chrome add-ons for the CLS. Lights, vents, door handles and so on .... the rice kit.

What I saw......

Actually, this was from an ad on Autotrader.com and the dealer was in Chicago. I emailed him regarding the car and he said it had already sold. He did not answer my question regarding the emblems.....

Hope that clears it up....
