I can't afford
too much going on at once, the front bumper looks good as does the exhaust (AC shnitzer wannabe).

If money’s no object, developers can also modify the V8 engine and exhaust system. Some of the modifications include a new supercharger and intercooler kit, high-flow induction system, performance camshafts, and a full stainless steel exhaust system.


I would go for it if was as fast as the Brabus Rocket. LOL

7500 bucks for the body work is pretty good.

Uh could I drive the car around like that ...nah

I like the Stealth Orca look

V12TT
gigantic ugly exhausts
ugly black bolt on look wing
is the engine rear mounted? What's the point of those ginatic intakes on the rear doors to cool the rear brakes?
ugly fenders

The front end looks good. Overall a beautiful car is ruined.

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
That blocky body kit does not go with the natural lines of the car. And, those wings look lame on everything. Also, I hope those concept photos are inaccurate. There is no way the body lines of the CLS should be broken up that way.

Looks like a junkyard/garage "ricey" job by some heavy-handed modder who doesn't have a clue nor recognizes the elegance of this car. The rear spoiler is terrble; painted black on a white car: that's atrocious. Hopefully it's a one-off!!

See.....the challenge/problem w/ externally mod'ding the CLS is simple: while you can mod it (Brabus Rocket comes to mind, for one), it is a very difficult car (Ericson lower lip is a nice touch) to make any more impressive, more elegant, "swoopier," etc. What does that tell you? This is one of those most rare designs that says" "it is what it is, and doesn't need to be what it isn't."
IMHO, one of the most beautiful 4 door cars currently under production and a benchmark in auto design (like the old Audi 5000/100 was). They both stood the auto design world on its head and widely emulated thereafter....after competitors and the market stopped gasping, that is.

Thumbs down

I seem to recall seeing a lot of body kits like that in the mid-eighties around South Beach in Miami. It screams of Crocket and Tubbs.
