Chris, you are posting about a Honda on a Mercedes-Benz site, not to mention Honda that has been modified to resemble an S-Class. Most folks here have a real S-Class and probably won't understand why someone would put so much effort and money into a project that makes no sense to the average person. You're taking an average mid-size sedan and attempting to transform it into a large upscale sedan. The end result is a car that probably cost as much to build as having bought a real S-Class in the first place and will actually have LESS value (to 99% of the public) than a stock Accord.
BTW: I like this thread, its something different.

I am sure it was your intent to create something that would be a functional work of art, to be admired by all that see it. But I have to tell you I doubt it will never be appreciated by anyone other than yourself. Mercedes Benz enthusiast will consider it a joke, and Honda purist will think it an abomination. There is more to a Mercedes than how it looks. Frankly, I think that to be the least of its virtues. I believe what you have will fall short of satisfying the expectations of everyone except you. Be happy with you Honda and enjoy the drive.

You should definitely enter it in the car of the month contest! LOL. Seriously, don't worry about the hating...LOL. Two thumbs up for having the creative mind, $$$$, and ***** to even create this conversion.

Have you entered it at any shows yet? HIN?

My friend sorta has the same thing, Marque, he's Indian. This is his car, he has Lambo doors on it, 19" Konigs, SC430 headlights, C-Class taillights, and custom interior. He's won many shows, he was at this weekend's show at the Exhibit Center in NJ. Here's some pics with a Rixplozion Girl...

I like his car, its won many shows, and he gets quite a lot of money for it, its very creative, and it flows, unlike this brabus one. Each to his own though...

regarding the Accord "S" thingy, creativity = YES. Looks good = HELL NO!!...You know it's not a good thing, when people's first comment is "WTF is that *****?" and not "damn, that's tight!"

about that Civic hatch "C" look alike. I give it the same comment, but it does look better finished than the Accord.

The door mod on the white Accord is pretty cool, but the SC headlight and the C taillightf just...eww The girl's pretty hot 7-8/10...
