You take a beautiful classy car and spend money (probably big money) to turn it into a poseur wanna be...

Mods are fine by me when they are designed to enhance a car, not when they try to make it something it's not.

Just my opinion,

You may not see the real crappyness of the design till you actually see this car in flesh. Iam sure it looks ugly.

The newer and older S classes are two different animals. Each and every screw is designed, engineered and tested to fit. The demensions (height, length, wheelbase etc.) cannot support the design change.
