Huh? Full JP Kit, Auto Couture wheels and Air Runner... you're the poster child for 'brand name stuff and expensive gear/parts'.

Its not so much the parts you have, its how you execute. Some cars with a sick drop, nice fitting wheels and close to no aftermarket body mods can look better than a car with a ton of parts.

As for that S500, it is an early model W220. The bumpers and side skirts are authentic AMG from the later model version which have a more aggressive look to them. The front bumper required custimization near the grill area to fit that bumper since the later model is taller. Little details like the side skirt tow hook flap (the little box) were like $85 each and the bumper grills were hundreds. I would hate to have to modify a Euro, they get expensive quick. The wheels are 20" 3pc GFG's in Benz CLS offsets. The quarter panels, moldings and edges of the rear bumper had to be pulled out. It is still not complete.


Oh yea, a couple of other Liberty cars I almost forgot. Augdogg from SoCal


and UpstateGS4 (under construction)

Very nice Liberty crew! I am glad to see Smitty in there but I think he is the only one I have met personally. All the cars look great. So many under construction too. Can't wait to see what else you guys roll out.

thanks for the response
so if you modify the bumper, then you wouldn't have to worry about getting the newer hood.

Looks like he didn't update the LED signal side markers. One word of advice, don't bother doing it on the aftermarket ones. Mine are fading and turning nasty yellow. I'm going to toss them out and looking for the oems.

yep, euro parts are overpriced............errr, expensive
