I think the idea is really good but the pointy middle of the bumper throws it off. If it followed the curve it would look so much better. Just my observation. Glad you kept the color.

yeah he tried to get alot of the curve off as much as he could...if you notice some japanese vip cars with euro bumpers...they use AMG or the higher end ones because the curve isnt as prominent...I ran the E Class because I was planning on just rocking a bumper and no skirts so I wanted the bottom corners of the bumper to flow with the smooth sides of the GS...the E Class does it better compared to other bumper that Mercedes has but in turn I have to suck up the pointy part since its more compared to AMG style...I told myself it will take some getting used to lol...i call it my Mugen GS lol...the bumper reminds me of Mugen RSX bumper lol...

hehe yeah...i had a few different exhaust setups...i decided I wanted something rowdy and obnoxious for my subtle personality lol...the only time you really hear it is on start up and WOT...other than that its pretty subtle...on the video..the exhaust was probably cracked due to months of scraping...

Some wild work there! Very well done, looks slick in burgundy, and the Benz bumper flows surprisingly well! Great work!
