Hot or Not?

This S65 was on autotrader for like 1 day, price was 60k and iirc had under 20k miles.

I think it looks great, what do you guys think?

I think blacked-out tail lights look sharp on most dark color cars, my friend had it done on his black Caddy XLR, it really sets the car off.

It's not like it's the "Burberry" S65, now that was bad.

It's also a factory color option for a Maybach, so I would not consider it ghetto.

I'm pretty conservative with modifications, I think the vast majority of non-OEM stuff looks pretty poor but this takes the cake.

I hate, no, despise two tone on a mercedes, and honestly I think it makes the taillights look bad. That plaid is so strange, I don't know what to think.

The Plaid Burberry one was just for an advertising promo I believe. I saw it on mymbonline forum.

I don't think it looks too bad, its more like a pattern applied to the car, but the two tone is just uggly, and makes it look fat, long and cheap.

^ I don't see what the big deal is about the Blueberry one? It's obviously for advertising and it's obviously a vinyl overlay.... nothing crazy?

If I owned a company that had some type of a monogram or a unique pattern, and I needed to advertise, you're damn right I would wrap an S65 in it.
