I even got rid of those rims when I bought my 2007 S600. I hate those wheels so much , I practically gave them away.

Yeah, the rims are a bit much, but otherwise, I don't see the big problem

I like the body mods. The red interior is a bit much also. But well within tolerance. I actually dig the fender treatment. Looks aggressive and might help cool the engine bay.

So back to a set of nice stock rims and on the road it'd be for Skeeter

Those rims are butt ugly. I kinda like the rear bumper, but the skirts, and front bumper are horrible.

I think the look could be easily corrected:

-remove the tint
-replace the wheels with something alot more suitable
-remove the rear wing
-and re-install the stock grill, or, at least black that one out

I think these corrections would greatly improve its looks.
The interior is definately liveable, but that sound system does seem a bit much for such an awsome car.

The shark gills look amazing IMHO.

+999999 definitely.. i dont see why they cant put some rims on there when so much money was spent on this car and the bodywork, maybe they ran out of money after that

Tech, I'm with you on the Shark gills! Love 'em. Very aggressive, gives the car a much-needed sinister factor without being over the top or import-tuner style.
