the aggressiveness of the kit and bodywork does not match the plain styling of the ls430.

the way I see it, by the time you do all that to the car then you mind as well kit a benz CLS with amg bumpers and call it a day...after all that's what it looks like it's trying to resemble right ?

the front bumper ruins the class of it. It would look VIP with a better styled front bumper

i agree. this is what they're doing right now in japan though. imo they are deluxurizing (made that word up) the cars when the whole point is luxury. a while back it was better balanced with subtle agressive details added, now it's just all out sporty and/or tasteless with a lot of builds.









what i find particularly funny is that cats over here who woulda called this rice a couple years ago if someone tried to do it are co-signing now because they see it in mags and show pics.

as far as the black pearl car, i think the matte/gloss two tone is much better than the faux-carlsson look. if he wouldn't have changed the bumper it might have brought the car back from the darkside in my eyes.
