that exhaust and rear end is def not my taste...seems to be a mideast thing... I dont think it would be that hard to find someone who has a classier aftermarket kit on their car.

IMO the six exhaust pipes are overkill, but otherwise very sweet. Nice to something other than standard AMG kit on the car.

the six exhausts is overdoing it by far. I cant stand that. It looks really really ugly. Ok sorry for being so harsh, just is overkill thats all.

Why does the appearance of 6 tailpipes remind me of a woman with 3 nipples but only two breasts?

It would probably look better with a pair of dice on mirror and mud flaps with curb feelers. But that's just me.

I can only imagine what the rest of the car looks like! Rumor has it that there is hot pink fur on the dash and genuine imitation carbon fiber as well!

Seriously, I like the rear apron overall...its just the exhaust that looks silly to me. I would also have gone with a different wheel.

ok, ok, i may have been a little harsh. but its like this, for me thats still a dream car and i hate to see it mistreated.

imagine the E55 being that gorgeous woman youve had the hots for, for a while. but shes stuck in a sh*tty realationship with this real @sshole and you know youd be soo much better for her.

How many HP does that exhaust add?

The rear bumper looks like an added-on, molded FG on top of the AMG bumper.

It's not too classy for an MB/AMG.

Who can compete..

What does your friend have underneath the engine? Also what wheel brand are those and what size? Inden perhaps? 19's or 20"s?

I'm pretty sure...

those are the Cargraphic wheels. And no, I dont care for the rear apron either. Do like the wheels, but prefer the LM/Inden.

I implied that the rear bumper looked a lot like something I knew of and the first car that came to my mind was the Lexus GS. That's how I meant it, take it whatever way you want, I don't care.

6 is too much. Almost an overkill. Quad is nice, quad overlappers (a la Porsche) is just sexy.

Looks like this guy aint comin back. I bet it was really his, but didnt want to take the bigger flamming he coulda gotten if he said it was his. Anyways, that ugly car should die. Or just be restored to its original form. Either one is fine with me.
