2 CLS's on UNIQUE WHIPS
I feel just like i felt when the first time i saw the 3GS and did not like it that much. After looking at more pictures, videos and finally at the LA AUTO SHOW i bought the car. I feel the same way for the MERCEDES CLS.
I dont know if you guys watch this show UNIQUE WHIPS on SPEED. Although i am not really a fan of the show but i like the cars they customize. Today they had 2 CLS 500. Both got i blv 20-21" LOWENHARTS and they freakin looked sick
That car just went up several notches on my excitment scale. One was MARCUS CAMBY's BLACK CLS 500 and the other was a SILVER CLS 500...i think it was BARRY GARDNER from NY JETS....... the cars looked HOT

Seems like they are becoming exclusive to the Celebrity scene. I remember Busta Rhymes would talk about them way back in the day.

Boring show IMO. Its always rims and suspension on such and such a car...
compare it to Overhaulin and its just ridiculous... those POS mercedes and Land Rovers have NOTHING on the cars on Overhaulin

heheActually.....funny you say that....out of all the 3GS's and CLS's i have seen on the road MOST were around my nieghborhood.........BUT now where i work is another story....Just last week my jaws dropped when i saw an orange Gallardo back up into a parking spot in our parking lot..... The guy owns a Mortgage company in our building....I see tons of CLS55, Ferrari's, Bentley GT's and Porches just to name a few here in Anahiem Hills/Yorba Linda area....heck i saw a MAYBACH on imperial Hwy once.
And speaking of the show....I used to live around the area where the shop is in LONG ISLAND.....and yes long time ago on CRIBS (whip edition) Busta Ryhmes did actually give them props becuase i guess they customized his lambo and other cars.

I saw the show and loved the silver CLS but hated the wheels they put on them. Those lowenharts were ugly and they said they cost $10k? Please get your money back. I think a nice set of HREs would look sick on that ride. They also needed to be lowered badly but there probably arent many suspension choices for this new car.
There was also a nice silver MB, looked like an E55 maybe, but it was slammed and it looked sweet. It was only in the background though

i personally think their work sucks..... did you guys see what they did to the sl500????? the previous wheels were so much better looking,,,,,, and they dont really lower their cars,,,,, they put some 22's on a 745,,,,,,, stupid looking chrome grills and they dont lower it..... also many of the wheels that they use are not name brand like hre...... also their custom stereo work is nothing close to par,,,,,,,, but then again west coast customs work is pretty whack also.... but maybe they have to do all that crazy stuff that hurts their image......

I like watching the show Unique Whips, but that owner Will Castro gets on my last nerve. I hate watching that ***** do nothing but bit*h and complain... the guy thinks he's Tony Soprano. And I think none of their work comes close to that of West Coast Customs or 310 Motoring. I dunno why his employees put up with him... they must get paid very well. And at the end of the show, I just love how he sucks up to the celebrities and acts like he was actually the one turning the wrench on the car, when it was actually his poor abused workers doing everything while he sits there annihalating a 12 pack of Krispy Kremes.

I think the shop and the show are a big joke. It's like PIMP MY RIDE but worse since you have to PAY for the crappy work.
I don't know who's car they were working on at the time, but the crappy rims they were mounting needed to have the center bores enlarged to fit the car. So what does the worker do? He starts drilling the center by HAND . Didn't even use a press to make sure it was drilled straight, not to mention centered. What a bunch of idiots.

btw, CLS's look stunning.
