Hey, c'mon - you're offending the tastes of all the drug dealers and rap "artists" out there ...

But seriously, this vehicle reminds me of graffiti. Spray painting infantile or inane messages all over a perfectly lovely building or work of art. And using the most garish paint color too.

Wheels are ok.. still not my kind of taste just for making the car to stand out, but the rest of the accessories they added need to go.

I hate to say it but I've seen worse on a W221 much worse, I like the wheel aside from the deep dish on the rear ones.

I honestly think that it is pointless to modd a car. I love stock cars. I spent about $25000 on my 2000 s500 with a lorinser kit and all that, but then i realized that it was a waste. I ended up selling the car for around 35000. That is the first and last car i have modded. Im whatever with rims, but thats already pushing it.

I bet Daimler would roll in his grave if he knew someone was doing this to one of his cars. Ruined that car. I just don't get it.

It's not half as bad as the cars with the full Lorinser kit and fenders. Not to my taste, but nowhere near as hideous as you made it sound.
