Perhaps if I was in the NBA or had a hit on the rap charts......but thankfully my answer is no on both. I think I'd rather walk.

My wife says it's FUGLY, despite being a fashionista herself.

My opinion: I think the constitution of the United States gaurantees the separation of fashion and cars. This is one ghetto-rized SL55. Poor car.

That's not too creative. They could have gotten the V Class emblem from Europe / Asia

probably used counterfeited fabrics too. I don't think they can get a hold of raw "mini-monogram" fabric used in the interior.

Well obviously....Money doesn't buy class That sh*ty TICK-TACK-TOE fabric looks extremely TACKY If they had that car in a give-away sweepstakes and I won it....Just to get thru the day until I could get that LV ripped outta there.... I'd take a can of black spray paint to it...Or a sh*tload of Sharpie permanent Markers... What a waste of money....I'm not going to even start on the wheels or badges...

Umm, i think they V came from a "V8" or "V12" Badge, not a cut-up M off the "ML" Badge. It's tacky but not cheap.

I must agree w/ you all of you guys on the tackiness of the car. The wheels... Those ugly spinteks are not fit for a benz. In fact I wouldn't put Spintek Spinners on any car.The only thing I can say I like is that Suede (although I don't like the color) and the Tinted Tails. The rest is whackkkk!

I think the smoked tail light is standard feature of the 55 plus the suede headliner is also standard.

LV doesn't sell raw fabric for that very reason... it cheapens the name. I saw a Ferrari 360 on ebay last year with the same treatment.

Those are definitely fake. LVMH wouldn't in their right mind sell those fabrics on eBay. Those are either counterfeited or they came from an illegal source.

On a side note, after the SLR and now the LV55 I have lost all respect for WCC. Now IMO Unique Autosport is number one in my book.

Yeah Unique, Is just as bad, after all it's the customers choices that go into those getto fab rides, Have you seen Unique's show? I can't believe what hack jobs they do The guy was spraying black rattle can paint inside the back of a SUV w/custom speaker boxes w/out taping anything off (windows exposed, everything unprotected) just freehand spraying holding his breath letting the over spray go everywhere
