Lunacy to even think it. You will waste much too much time and money.

Get a used Maybach.

This is what happened when I tried to make an AMC pacer look like a Mercedes.

WTF are these threads that are popping up? WTF would make someone want to attempt this?

People arent happy posing as AMGs anymore, now they want to pose as Maybachs

Some one had too much to drink last night. If you have the money why don't you just buy a used maybach 57.

You will not impress anyone with Maybach anymore.
You can make yourself a Ferrari F40 though.......

Wow, didn't know the Maybach was built on the W140 platform. That's crazy.

Maybachs were big on the east coast; rarely seen in Los Angeles. I guess we preferred the RR Phantoms.

Makes me wonder why someone would even buy/finance a Maybach.

Yep, hence the Maybach's chassis designation: "W240".
