2012 CLS550 Lorinser

Wanted to post up a few pics of the ride, still tinkering here and there but turning pretty clean I think. What does everyone think?

Ride looks great! I love the white side markers and black trunk bar
What do you think about painting your vossens??
Or maybe some gloss black vinyl for your roof, mirrors, grille, etc..
The lorinser kit has some nice lines, I think some appropriate black touches will make it more aggressive
Keep it up

Just noticed the gloss black window trim and door handles. Very nice

Thanks for the props Jett.. I was actually thinking of the doing some of the things you just mentioned. Black roof and possibly black grille with black emblem. Its not as easy as doing it with a stock one for the grille as its molded in one piece, but certainly doable and will be strongly considering it. Appreciate the ideas and welcome everyone else to chime in with ideas. Something will be changed, just a matter of what..

A beauty! RTW does great work. I got my Lorinser package done by them back in November of last year. Shipped my car from here in Ft. Lauderdale. Great customer service and they delivered the car on time.

Looks great!

Maybe just a mild drop to solve that spacing issue.

Not a bad looking kit but way too much white for my taste. I would break up some of the white.....rear roof and trunk spoiler, mirrors, maybe the door handles, but definitely the front grill. Other then that.....the car is SWEET!

Thanks guys.. But yes I do have plans on adding black in certain areas. Once I decide where I will post up updated pics. Grill is a tough one as its a one piece seamless bumper/grille combo, so it will be difficult not having a line of black. Not saying it can't be done, just will take painting area black and it has a few small chips so either I paint the bumper over and then clear color sand and buff.. It will not be cheap so will get some ideas how to do it cleanly. Stay tuned!!

Agreed On spacing. Looks better with sport mode on. Just not sold on lowering, yes looks better but don't feel like sacrificing the ride any more than I have, with 25 series tires not exactly plush. And eventual premature deterioration of air suspension is also an issue. Friend whos a Tech at MB said he does work on more failures on suspensions of vehicles lowered and running lower series tires.
