new toy
hey guys thanks for the feedback you gave me about which car i should get: 2006 GS430 or 2006 Mercedes CLS 500. well I decided after alot of thinking the Mercedes. sorry i hope you guys don't through stones at me and throw me to the wolves! 
but i just wanted to share these exterior pictures, the color is Barolo Red MEtallic with Cashmere Nappa leather interior.. i know this wheel is very popular and everyone has it but i just love the way this wheel looks triple chrome, 20x9 in the front, 20x11 in the rear, 35% tint all the way around, chrome accents on the headlights and taillights, the lorinser lip trunk spoiler and the CLS55 and AMG emblems in the rear. the dealer ordered the AMG front grill and a wood grain shift **** which should come in this week. tell me what you think...

This is a nice car (love the color). However I agree with the other posters on this thread, leave the CLS 55 AMG badges off the car. You won't be fooling the "real" enthusiasts that are knowledgeable about high end automobiles, as they will know by looking at the rear of your car that you are a "poser". The CLS 55 AMG model has dual exhausts, and the CLS 500 with the AMG sport kit has only has a single exhaust (yes you could get the CLS 55 AMG rear apron and add the dual exhaust, but by the time you add the all of the accessories to make it "look" like a AMG CLS 55, along with the cost of your Lowenharts, you probably could have purchased the CLS AMG model) . And why even try to make your car be something it is not? You already have a highly coveted car that very few people could afford anyway.

But please don't be a poser and add the AMG badges
You have a great car, just enjoy it with the mods you listed...minus the aforementioned emblems.

#1- Don't be a poser. Change those badges before you get the unfortunate opportunity to line up with a real one at a stop light.
#2- The car looks great. LOOKS being the operative word. I am absolutely in LOVE with the LOOK of a Mercedes. They are madd sexy.
#3- Any man who isn't afraid of Mercedes quality and their wallet's future demise cannot be a god fearing man, but you my friend have brass one's the size of a house to undertake a car so expensive with such a track record of fanagling little problems ($1000 here, $2000 there). So as they say in the commercials, this bud's for you. I like people who **** towards the wind. You have my respect.
#4- By me one, I still think they are beautiful.
