need anyone's opinion
Anyone care to give an opinion on these upgrade options I'm considering on my S550. (It's in my signature and you can see more pics of it by opening my public profile.)
Option #1 : Sport grill upgrade - http://schaetztuning.de/sport-grille...19124f4568c2a2
Option #2 : Flat hood emblem - http://schaetztuning.de/hood-emblem-...19124f4568c2a2
Option #3 : Wood panels for Center Console - http://schaetztuning.de/panels-centr...19124f4568c2a2
Option #4 : Chrome door handles - http://schaetztuning.de/chrome-door-...19124f4568c2a2
I'm open to anyone who agrees or disagrees with what I am considering. I value any and all opinions.
And if anyone agrees with these upgrades and has a better or cheaper site to use, I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks guys

1. The big star looks out of place; I fail to see what is "sport" about it. Size does matter, but not here.
2. Matter of preference. I personally like seeing the star on the hood while driving.
3. Looks good.
4. Look good, but will get all smudgy. Also watch for water spotting.

Option #1 I think will really take away from the car's classy look
Option #2 I just installed the flat hood emblem myself, it takes a little getting used.
Option #3 : looks nice, but I would have to see it in person to make sure it does look cheap.
Option #4 : I have these, they do stop from getting scratches. However if you don't dry them properly when you wash your car, you will have a lot of water spots.

So everyone HATES the grill option, including my girlfriend 
Would it change your opinion at all if I told you I got it off ebay for $100? Including shipping & handling.
I thought I could always re-sell it here, or on ebay, if I hated it in-person. It just seemed like too good a deal to pass up.

This upgrade was already purchased before my question to y'all. The wheel was a must have upgrade for myself. My only regret is finding a slightly better deal after I made the purchase. Oh well

Just because I can buy something off Ebay for less, doesn't mean that I'm going to put it on my $110k car.
I fully agree with the wheel upgrade. The plain wheel (and the only kind that was available on the 750 when I bought it) doesn't look up to par.
