Unfortunately you're not going to get very favorable comments on those builds in this part of the forum. The demographic here is not the same as the types that modify S-Classes.
Interesting to see the Prior Design 222- I wasn't aware that they already made a kit.

Tuner" modifications are pretty much the equivalent of throwing STACKS of hundred dollar bills on a bonfire, while simultaneously walking naked through your next high school reunionl with "look at me, I'm such an idiot" tattooed on your forehead. These idiotic tuner "enhancements" are like putting heavy makeup, false eyelashes and gigantic breast implants on Grace Kelly or some more current natural beauty for you younger guys. Anyone in America who pops for one of these abortions surely has more money than brains and absolutely zero good taste. Other parts of the world? Well, I won't go there, physically, metaphorically or any other way. To put it another way: I don't like ANY tuner mods.

C'mon, Streamliner. Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel!
As I have said on this forum before, I have had many "tuned" cars over the years. Porsche, BMW, Volkswagen and the occasional pickup truck. In my view the S Class just doesn't lend itself to being "tuned". There is an elegance and refinement associated with this model. There are many other models in the MB lineup that are more appropriate for modification. The only tuned S Class that remotely appeal to me are the factory AMG models. And even those cars are understated right out of the box. The only mods to my S are de-badging and factory 20" staggered wheels. Thought about adding AMG exhaust tips but the dealer estimate was prox $1,200!! Needless to say that won't happen. But in all fairness...to each his own.
While we do see everyone's point on the S-Class not being much of a "Tuner" oriented car, car enthusiasts will always find something in their car they wish was different. Body kits are sometimes an extreme form of modification for most people, but Prior Design's kit is done in a very classy way. It adds subtle, yet elegant improvements over the stock look. Anyone, tuner or not, should be able to appreciate that.
This is a great way to add about an additional 25% of depreciation to an S class instantly Those tacked on bits of plastic cry a little bit too loud for attention to my taste.
