Yes, the tackiest thing is actually the hood ornament totally breaks up the lines

Well, they go the fenders right. Maybe they will make the refresh.

Aftermarket body kits and tuner modifications on a car like an S Class are for people with way too much money, way too much time on their hands and absolutely no concept of good taste. But hey, that's just me.

It is horrid, but I'd have to agree about the fenders

For aftermarket styling kits and accessories, what looks best on the W222?

The fender mod is pretty easy btw

I've "tuned" a few cars over the years including MB, BMW and Porsche. I could just never bring myself to modify my S Class or CL. To me these cars have a certain elegance about them that is compromised by add ons and visual modifications. Maybe some performance parts...but even that doesn't appeal to my taste for the S. I did have a W221 with the AMG appearance package. That's as far as I was willing to go. All in the eye of the beholder, I guess.

The only aftermarket enhancement, looking good, would be a driver inside of the car.

The hood DEFINITELY has to go. The front fender add on has to go too. The front bumper looks like the Brabus bumper? Fenders get a from me. Overall...meh

The hood is terrible , the rest is ok

I wouldn't call it subtle or classy though , it's pretty aggressive and cheesy
