Not feeling any of that personally, sorry. That grille especially is a big no-no.

Wheels are nice.

That grille has gotta go. That's a genuine E Class faux-pas.

Like others have pointed out, the grille has got to go!

I like the wheels, but you need to drop it lower. It actually looks higher than the Tarago parked next to it.

Yea there is the button that I have right by the shift. It has 3 modes, comfort, sport 1 and sport 2. there is a shop that can lower airmatic suspension about 2 hrs away from for for $300 including alignment, dunno if that is right or worth it. Or if there anything I can do myself?
