OSMS_Carlsson

This week the first Carlsson package for the US was built by CEC in LA on a 2014 S550 W222, the car was wrapped in a Matte Pearl White which was a good idea considering the paint in matte finishes is really difficult to match when mixing to apply to different materials.
The overall finish was impressive to say the least, and the complete Carlsson Body package really compliments the overall stance of the vehicle.
The kit consists of the complete front bumper w/RS lip and an added LED DRL kit, side skirts with ground illumination at entry, fender accents, full rear bumper with integrated dual tips, and rear deck spoiler. The wheels are the Carlsson 1/5 EVO D/S wrapped with Pirelli tires.

Thanks for the opportunity to share, we hope you will enjoy!

You forgot to mention the color matched rear section of the pano roof

Is that gloss black vinyl or gloss paint?

I bet this is what the refreshed amg package looks like in 2017.

That's more like it. The kit is great but the double fender vents have to go. Fit on the rear bumper needs work. Wheels aren't to my taste but other than that it looks good.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the compliment, I think the factory takes examples from all the Tuners and blends a little of this and that into each model as the year pass, it seems most car makers establish new designs and ideas from the aftermarket. Some are not always the best, and some make it hard to improve upon, but it is always nice to have the option of something that allows an individual look.

In regards to the roof, I am not quite sure if they painted or wrapped the roof, I know the front grill was painted and parts of the Carlsson front bumper were painted as well. But the trim around the windows and at the bottom of the car were vinyl wrapped and up close it looked really good, better than I expected.

Is the rear bumper in the photos a prototype or the actual production piece? The seam along the quarter panel looks like the rear cover isn't mounted right or is warped.

Hi Mike, the parts on the entire kit are made in Polyurethane. I noticed the lines back there too, but I think it was from the material with the wrap at the seam with the bumper and fender. Attached are a few pics of the build, the bumpers are complete replacements in Pu-Rim and use all the factory inner components to mount them to the car. I think the light was just catching the seam and the material of the wrap, if you look at the 3 picture attached the seam of the bumper is perfect to the car.

Yeah, it was the wrap. Looks perfect in those pics. Thanks!

wow that (IMO) looks awful! that front end is (IMO) completely wrong!
we don't need more lower LED's.......and those wheels!!! holy **** that's terrible!

Tell us how you really feel!!! On that note; however, I completely agree! You took a beautiful car and somehow managed to make it look UGLY!!!!!

The side skirts, fake a$$ vents, front, and rear, ALL have to go! Dang! That's just horrible!

hyperion667

LOL, didn't even notice the 'vents' until you said that! BAHAHA!!


I love seeing the 'vents' on Impala's and cars like that

Sorry to be blunt, but IMO looks really bad. What's with the side-vent look on S Classes by all these aftermarket makers? Never looks good, nor appropriate for the car (and fit/finish is usually clearly not OEM either).

The front bumper is a disaster, looks like a Kia Optima, and those cheap LED's are pretty much what you see on every $5K Pep Boys beater on the road.

Terrible!
