Looks awesome! A very unique look to a very common car in SoCal. I like it!
If you have time, I'd love to see interior photos.
(FYI -- someone just posted a bad experience getting warranty service on their SL from Walters.)

Very clean....Im not much of a fan on kits on cars but the Lorinser kit does make that car look very clean and unique. Is the exhaust lorinser too? OH and what rims are those? There not lorinsers are they? Never saw those before.

Love the car. Only negative to me is that the aero package on the doors remind me of the Mitsubishi 3000GT.

2005 E320 and 2007 SL550 Lorinser
Thanks for the compliments guys!
The car stickered at $123K and the dealer would not budge even $100 off the price (and I even walked off the lot). They said if I didn't buy it that day, somebody else would (they had just put it out on the showroom floor). I'll post some interior shots soon. The grille inserts actually have NOT been painted. They are raw (unpainted) aluminum mesh, and the lorinser kit was about an extra $20k. The wheels are Lorinser and so are the exhaust tips.
We like the lorinser kit ALOT cause it's not as common as the AMG package. We're actually considering also trading in our Black 05' E-class for a new Lorinser S-class.
There won't be much in the way of mods, considering it's the wifes new toy (my new toy will be here next week)...
