What are bags for?

E300 bagged on 20" custom finished Polished Rose Gold BD-77. This finish is one of our most requested custom paint jobs. The combination of the color and the wheel style makes for an unique look that the customer was shooting for.

Let us know what you like about this build, where we can improve and what you would have done different!

FULL SHOOT

It would be hard to make this car any uglier.

To each their own! The owner was so happy to see the end result and that's what truly matters. Not a huge "stance" guy myself, but I can respect the passion. Thanks for the input

So many possible responses!!
But being as how the thought police are everywhere, they can no longer be used in written form. I miss "sticks and stones" sometimes.

Not something I would do, but I can appreciate the aesthetic. As long as the owner is happy, that’s what counts. I am actually considering getting a roof box in case I need it, but I don’t think I would leave it on longer than necessary.

Nothing to say here either. Although if people just post positive comments, OP will think it's great when it might actually be the other way around.

The cool thing about car culture is people can get creative and really show their unique side. I'm not the biggest fan myself, but I can respect it. Plus I really love the BD-77, it's bold. Takes some guts to rock them and for that, he gets a thumbs up! On the flip side, any constructive criticism is welcomed! Thank you

The car is on airbag suspension. The running joke is "bags are for groceries", not suspension lol

The end result is polarizing. Either you like it or you don't. I don't think there is middle ground. To my eyes, it's not pretty. To someone else's eyes, perhaps it is. The front end of the E Class sit low enough as it is and I have already scraped the bottom of the front end pulling out of a parking lot. My first thought was my god, that thing could only be driven on completely flat roads.

The car has a full air suspension. Meaning it will be raised up for standard/stock height while actually daily driving. These pictures were taken with the lowest setting for a AWEE effect. And they've succeeded.

Bags are the thread title states as someone mentioned is airbags ie air suspension. As my father would call these cars "looks like they are driving around with broken shocks."
Not to thread jack but a truly low suspension look, one can use the googles and search for static car ride. These cars are literally being driven while dragging their undercarriage on the pavement.

You'd have to be mental to be on coils and be that low forever lol! In either case, it gets attention.

Gold wheels on a blacked out Mercedes......this is so gaudy even w/o the bags. And what’s the storage container for? This guy probably has a track suit and gold chains.....is that for his hairspray and tanning lotion ! LOL

sorry I just imagine an Eastern European guy who thinks this is the most amazing car in the world lol who would spend this kinda cash to have no class

Looks ugly mainly because of the rims color.
Gold on black with silver accents!

It might look a bit better if the silver on the diffuser, trunk, and around the windows is painted gold. Idk, it might turn even worse
