This Is Not How You Modify a CLS 550



This monstrous CLS is what happens when you are mislead into believing that you have taste in body kits.

If the car is a good deal, I'd just get an aftermarket bumper and grill win-win solution!

Maybe he can use that front end as a snow plow. I thought the Lexus frontend was awful but this, now that takes it to a whole different level.

The bumper doesn't even align properly with the hood or the fender. Yuck.

Thumbs down How not to modify your CLS550

Reminds me of the old cow catcher on the very first steam locomotives. Simply butt ugly...

Looks like the latest flavours of Chryslers and GMs. The exact reason not to buy a Chrysler or GM.

You can buy an unruined 500 all day long for $14,000... so this one is worth $14,000 less the cost to restore it to it's original condition.... essentially it's totaled.

Does it have flashing purple strobe lights underneath? By the way, has anyone noticed the quarter-circle louvers behind the front wheel wells? Another subtle styling cue! They look like shark gills.

I like the body work but I can do without the "primer" paint look.

This is what drug money or hip/hop money does! I think one of the worst curses is having money and no taste, because you lack of taste gets broadcast everywhere because of your money. Oh well, capitalism does have it's problems!

It's a used CLS550 with a body kit that was not properly installed and had the owner or shop cheap out on materials. its a bigger shame for an after market tuning company with a passion for details and design to get a bad picture of their kit released than it is for a CLS550 to have a poor owner/shop working on it. Even the headlights are pitted and need to be refinished.

Just as bad as some Audis, but not as ridiculous as the new Lexus!
