Very nice pics. What kind of camera are you using? I can't tell if it's a dSLR or not in some of the pics.

Also, some of the outdoor ones need a little better contrasting, it's nice but sometimes too excessive when you can't see the car that's blending with the background heh.

Beautiful, beautiful. Can't believe with all the spit & polish, you'd dare take it off the pavement!!

Although my car is silver, because of the heat of Florida sunshine, I think there's nothing better looking than a well cared for black W220.

Why did you shave the S500 emblem in the rear. People are going to think it's a S430.

When I was in Europe a few weeks ago, most all the Benzo's there are shaven.

Why did you quote my post with all the pictures duplicating them? Do you actually look at the post after you make it?

Anyways, about your question, the S500 badge on the back is fine, I just like how the lines of the trunk look without it, your eye is not distracted by it.

Plus I was never the type of person to drive a car for it's "Social Status"... I drive my S-Class like it ain't ****, I never show it off, I never brag about it.

I have a set of 4 new cross drilled rotors coming this week, along with an Evosport Pulley Kit, that along with my current engine mods should push me to around 375HP or maybe a little more, so I'd love to see any S500's or S430's race me....

Sweet ride, love those high quality pics!


Why does everyone shave the hood ornament off?

Yeah, it's the Yankee transplants in Palm Beach who can't handle paper ballots or touch screens. Hopeless.

People steal them and it looks cleaner sometimes. Personally, I'd keep the hood ornament.

I did and it looks great!! Your S pretty much shows you don't always need the sport package to look sporty and sexy.

I got the replacement badge from DFW Dude or whatever his name is... it looks sexy with it.

Thank you for the comments, I was shooting with an Olympus C5050Z that day, which is not a dSLR.

I am buying a Nikon D200 in the next few days so I can get some better quality material.

Yes sir I was just reading about it the other day... it's very expensive though, and this being a hobby for me, is a hobby I can not spend that much money on.

The D200 is probably going to run around $1,800 which is crazy as it is.
