This is a car that our shop custom built for a good customer in TX. It is not for sale, but thought you guys might appreciate it.

Are you saying that they removed the twin sliding AMG calipers and replaced them with brembos? or is this just an S550 dressed up to look like an S65.. How about an interior shot.

This is the BLACK BISON kit. We used the stock rear bumper and just changed it a little as we thought the Wald rear bumper was too busy. We also more or less did a "MURDERED OUT" effect on this car. Walds distributor in the states is jonari.com . Most of the kits they offer should be pictured on that site in the gallery

I personally would never a kit an AMG car. Call me conservative. But I do think this car would look a whole lot better if the tail lights weren't tinted. It would atleast catch the red from the brakes and make that whole thing flow better. The worst part of the wald kits to me isn't even the aero parts so much as those fugly exhaust tips. Were those swapped for the nice dual attached tips on the 09 S65s?

Tough crowd here. Oh well, I can respect others opinions. Just showing what we did for our customer at the customers request. I think the car has a unique look and was well executed for the look the customer was going for. Not everyone is looking for "BLING BLING" .

Looks OK at best... you can't beat AMG styling.
You have some ***** calling the stock brakes "junk"... care to elaborate about that? What's so junky about the twin sliding calipers and those monster rotors?

Going for that stealth look is ok, but I personally would not tint the white on the taillights and the front grille shouldn't have been touched. But thats just me! Oh and the star on the hood should come back. Otherwise, yes unique look.

Did not realise that I should have been wearing dress shoes to take photos out in 100 degree heat! 
Love my flops!Seriously, we were just trying to show the difference that it made on the cars looks with the Wald kit. I am glad some of you like it. As for those of you that dont, I respect that as-well. Did not expect to get everyones approval. I see cars everyday I dont like. I just dont go upto the guy driving it and say, "your car is FUGLY!"

Not so sure a HOOD ORNAMENT would go that great with the look this guy was going for. As for the stock brakes, compared to the brembo mono block calipers, yes, I feel they are a cheap design. maybe I was a little too harsh with the word "JUNK". I like the Brembos that mercedes used on the E, CLS, C and other AMG cars. That does not mean I like the AMG S cars anyless as I own an s63 myself that has those brakes, but I would much rather have the Brembos. Have you ever taken the stock front calipers off and looked at them? I was not impressed, but we all have our own opinions and I respect everyones opinion as they are just that, opinions. Oh, thanks for the complement on the flops! Did not realise that I should have been wearing dress shoes to take photos out in 100 degree heat! Love my flops!

well, you asked for opinions
I wonder how I would have put it had you asked me in person, as a stranger on the street.
How big a guy are you?
