S class is a great car. I had alot of fun with mine. Unfortunately, modifying mercedes is expensive. I put $20k into mine and I was barely even done.

Unfortunately, especially if you live in california, the S class is getting tired. Especially when you have fixed up BMW 7 series with 22" wheels heh.

Oh well, pics of my car!

hehe be4 i bought ma lorinser kit...i looked at WALD and Brabus...The price for full brabus kit and quad exhaust was about 8000 dollars.... a little bit cheaper then Lorinser... i decided....wut the hell go all da way and i spent the xtra couple thousand and went for Lorinser....Brabus is NICE but ....lets say you rolling down the street.... and a person does not know ANYTHING about the S-class xcept itz basic shape.... they wouldnt notice the car was modified and had a kit(brabus) but if you rolling with lorinser then "wow" they notice right away...that, that car does not come like that factory! haha just my opinion... im gonna drop the car soon after the kit is on and probably performance tune it with RENNtech... hey JL ,even though my car is 2003 as u can notice we have different tail lights and head lights... you should get the new one soo people will think your car is 2003 plus it looks nicer hahaha the only thing u cant buy to make your car look like a 2003 S-class is the Clear signals on the SideMirrors just a tip to make your car look EVEN nicer

omg..jl, your S looks amazing!!..i especially like the rims,fog lights, and the "outline" of the headlights(nice sound system). ..noticed that you took off the tri-star from the hood completely. Why'd you do that?
another question...Is that a quad exhaust?

erick: like racewind said, the bi-xenos looks awesome!!!..gotta love the rims, any more pics?

I have the opposite thinking of you. I appreciate the person that knows what Brabus is. Lorinser IMO is so stereotypical of the whole athlete/rapper "i want everyone's attention!!!!" attitude heh. When I purchased my S class in jan 2001, I was deciding between Lorinser and Brabus. I choose Brabus because their classy styling is unmatched. In retrospect, I would've went with a Lorinser DTM front apron and brabus rear bumper.

Unfortunately, I sold my S class before the 2003 models came out. Hence, old front and rear lights. I felt the need to upgrade (check the sig) =)

I had the kit installed at Brabus NA in newport beach.

I sold the car on ebay in fall of 2002.

Erick, did you get the fender flairs? They would add a nice flair to the car -- no pun intended. I have a 2000 with the DTM as well as the fender flairs and did add the 2003 lights recently. I have seen a couple posts from people calling the Lorinser kit stereotypical, etc. Ignore that. The Lorinser Kit IMO is very classy and aggressive at the same time and no other kit can compare. I think alot of people see celebrities, athletes, etc with those kits and all of the sudden they want to label it as being ghetto or "common." Your car will look stunning trust me!!! Only my opinion and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, right? I live in NC and have have only seen 2 "S" Models with a Lorinser Kit so there is nothing "common" about mine where Im from, but Im sure there is alot more wealth in Cali. Excellent choice on the wheels. I wish I would have gotten 19s. I went with the 20" LM5s and I have some rubbing problems, not a major problem but definitely annoying. How much is the body shop charging for installation/paint etc? Congrats and Take Care.
