Damn that looks ugly

Lorinser makes a CL conversion for the S class. The reason it looks photoshopped is because the guy also got the Lorinser CL fenders and it doesn't match the lines of the S class

The CL conversion will run about $20k i believe

Hey, I do NOT like this car, but someone does. That's what makes the world go round! I do like the CL grille, but the shark fins are overkill. My opinion only.

Every see a really, really, really hot girl walking down the street, and all you say "I wonder who gets to wake up next to her"???

Just remember....somewhere, someone is sick of her S%^T!!!

Where do you get a good quality CL style grill for an S class that will not fall apart?

well... i wasn't exaclty WOW-ING that it looks good... but that someone actually makes something like that.

Never liked the Lorinser fenders nor their side skirts. Some front bumpers are ok...

I'm just impressed by the headlights and hood!

I think it would look better without all the vents and gills or whatever you call those things. The vents on the fenders destroys the line that's supposed to run from the very front of the fenders to the very end of the rear quarter panels.
