Default New WALD S-Class

Don't know if it's a repost but there is a nice pic on WALD website of new bodykit for new S.

It surely helps the looks!!!

Is it just me or are those wheels too small for that body. I'm usually not one to argue that bigger is better, but that just doesn't look natural to me.

Wheels look fine to me. That rear fender flare is still so jarring, though. It definitely looks better in black.

Looks like a stretched out Crossfire.

a large air vent also belongs on a sports car, not a large luxury sedan.

Whats with the trend for these big side air vents anyway? looks tacky, kinda like oversize rear wings.

That's why you gotta add the stickers on the windshield and the flames on the side.

You dont know much about cars, do you? Both those together add 30 hp. Every true ricer knows if you want the big power, you need to have the loudest fart can exhaust money can buy and a 4 ft high wing to handle all the power.

i thought that's the stock fender flare in the back...?

anyway, i think the car looks ugly to begin with, and the kits just made it worse. first time i don't like wald stuff...

and take a look at the kits for the cls too, just as bad....
