Did you have to sell that house to pay for those cars?

Sell that CTS IMO, you wont be driving it anymore... Drive the S while its still hot on the streets.

Also, youre pretty young...did you consider the new body CL550 ,CLS63, SL55, etc....? Just wondering since I am in my mid 20's and am wondering how you based your decision.

Oh yeah....get ready for the S550 AMG flaming....did the dealer put that on? My buddy bought a new CLS and the dealer refused to put on the amg badge, they said they would sell him a 63 though.

May I ask what you do at 21 to afford a S550?

As far as the badge is concerned, the dealer actualy offered to put it on for free so I agreed. Is that bad?

I like my CTS...spent some time on it fixin it up and plus it's my DD. I figured I already had a sporty car so I settled with an S. Presidential.

IMO strip all the badges off the back. Real cool that you have a successful business at 21, I am 20 I am still in school. Must have had some help to be able to get the capital to loan money for homes. I understand the sentimental value of the CTS bc you put so much time into it, I would dump the CTS because having the S why would you drive around the CTS? Maybe trade it on a SLK55 so you can have a nice roadster/cruiser

yes the badge isnt a great idea....considered to be put on by posers only, so it is a risk you take. Most people wont notice.

1. Get rid of that AMG badge. Its not an AMG.
2. Tint the windows with HuperOptik.
3. What options and packages do you have?

As far as badging, I plan on going with the Lorinser kit after which I will replace the badge. I suggest no one gets cute and starts clownin. Also, a scratch on my car, is a scratch on yo A$$.

Nice car. If your getting a Lorinser kit just forget about putting that roof spoiler.
Regarding other mods, most people in this forum are not too big in modding their cars to far off the mainstream (each to their own). I'd put some nice 22" Asantis and drop it an inch and a half.

If you are going Lorinser, why the hell would you order the AMG package in the beginning?

That is nuts to me too, why would you want to tamper with the already gorgeous AMG kit? The car is perfect enough as is.

Should have bought the non sport if you go Lorinser...

Also here in LA even some chicks will know its a fake AMG...I would take off the badge ASAP so you dont have to explain the story of how it is a S550 with AMG sport accents....you would be better off going all the way and claiming 600 (which is a mortal sin on here...a custom fake 600 with custom AMG package would be funny though) then trying to claim AMG on a non-AMG...but I guess at least you have the AMG package or you would be like the dude with the non sport SL with SL65 badges

I love the white on the S...and really that Lorinser kit is HARD....I have to admit it. At 21 I had a R129 SL and a SUV....you my friend are doing well...keep it up.

just the fact that you let them put it on tell me that your a poser, the fact that youre gonna keep it on proves that your a poser.

Poser? That's a personel opinion. Also as far as the Lorinser, I'm not planning on doing the upgrade anytime soon so I figured I'd play around with the AMG package.

A threat? Call it what you want.

Is that a racist comment?
What gave it away, the Platinum plates?

Come on dude. It's my first thread...I don't wanna start ish.
