looks a little over-accesorized IMHO, even though there are actually only a few mods. But none-the-less I love W220's to no end

I think what I am missing is a tasteful body kit for it all to make sense. I always mod my cars as I can not stand stock. Just the way I am..

Looks good but you should tint the rear tail lights and just keep one star in the front. I say keep the stand up star and get a blacked out grille w/o star

I looked all over for just a plain black grill but couldn't find it. I also don't like both stars on the front especially that huge emblem on the grill.

As for the tail lights, I kinda dig the euro clear style...

Tint the tails, put a regular Mercedes-Benz emblem on the trunk, get rid of one of the stars on the hood and lower the car and get a real exhaust. It will look stunning and you don't have to get a cheesy body kit.

Thanks, I am definitely removing the stand up star on the front and will look into tinting the rear tail lights.

I also need to look for a diff grill. I can not stand that big logo on it. All I wanted was just a plain black grill.

Thanks for your critisism and compliments.

Check eBay for the grilles or maybe just get a regular one and have it painted or paint it yourself.

I do think you went a little overboard, especially with the tail lights and two front stars, but I like the fact that you can take criticism well and aren't afraid to admit you "messed up".

i agree. i'm impressed that someone who would do that to an S-Class would be mentally tough enough to tale the criticism so well.

and let's face it people, it's no where near as ugly as some of the fails people post on here (gills, anyone? who the f*** puts gills on an S?)

except for that goddamn grille. it is fugly.
