Yep. At least it's not a nuclear bomb reading 0:05 on the timer.

That car was on the cover of a recent VIPStyle magazine, so i guess this guy got the recognition he wanted. I cant remember specifically, but i'm pretty sure its lowered with airbags or coilovers (def. not cut springs!)

The owner looked young as well. I dont have the magazine with me, but it has a full writeup about the car (in Japanese of course!)


I actually like it (minus the front grille, and extra badges...)

I don't think it's a S600. If the owner is willing to do all that, who says they might not just add on some badges as well?

Also, last I checked you can't just cut the springs on an ABC (air hydros) equipped car which the S600 is.

The S"600" would look really nice if you remove:
1) wheels
2) grill
3) rear bumper
4) excess badging
5) seats

Wait. That's almost everything!!! Actually, the sides, the roof spoiler, and maybe the exhaust can stay.

Leave it in Newark, NJ for 20 minutes and they could take care of that. They might leave the frame if they're feeling generoous.

leave the car in queens and they'll replace the rims with cheap ones. then you can push the gutted benz to another spot so you don't end up getting a parking ticket.

Leave this car where I live.... and it'll stay there

On second thought, maybe we should leave this one in Queens / Newark

i used to have alot of respect for Lorinser but now their products all look like someone made production pieces from crumbled blue prints.

Same with Hamann and AC-Schnitzer. Just because we're in the 21st century doesn't mean we want UFO-style alien ship aero design.
