OK...back to car talk!
GSKING, it looks like your friend not only likes MB's, but white cars as well.
When you say your friend is getting a McLaren, are you referring to the MB-McLaren SLR?

ART Program 221 Sportline
The classic ART Program 221 AVANTGARDE for the new S-Class is now also available in the second variant , the SPORTLINE following the GTR look.
At its unveiling at the Special Importcar Show (S.I.S.) in Tokyo from April 28 – 30, 2006, this marriage of elegant luxury limousine and sports car entitled Program 221 SPORTLINE from the workshops of the ART customizers drew an immediate reaction of enduring admiration.
The aerodynamic front already familiar from the well-known ART Program 221 has now been reproduced in Nuremberg in the more strongly accentuated SPORTLINE version. A successful collaboration of parallel projecting lines, optimally placed air inlets, distinctive cut-outs and sophisticated supplementary headlamps now define the appearance of the basic S-Class. It has unmistakably answered the call for raw sports appeal and racy contours, its exterior offering more than a hint of what you will find under the hood. So much of its design is borrowed from nothing less than the successful GTR sports vehicle from ART.
With this distinct sportive design line, ART is responding to broadly pitched demands from the international S-Class community who seek the very best in comfort and sports flair for their vehicles.
The side skirts and rear skirts are identical in both the AVANTGARDE and the SPORTLINE lines. The same goes for the headlamp equipment.
The technical advantage of both the SPORTLINE and the AVANTGARDE components is production using the MG Compound method. This entails deep-drawing the fiber-glass reinforced plastic laminate under vacuum conditions. The contours are CNC-machined.
This innovative technology offers precisely definable and constant material strengths with precision fitting.
As a certified company with certified suppliers, high levels of quality and sustainable quality assurance measures, ART can offer its customers the ultimate in product safety and value stability for all components in its customization programs: an essential ingredient of justified confidence.

The ART kit looks OK. The front looks like a hybrid of the S65 front bumper and Brabus, but with bigger fog lights. The side skirts and rear look decent. The wheels would look much better with lips. I agree w/ LexArazzo, the regular AMG kit is the best.

Departed 5/7/06
Returned 5/19/06
5,111 miles total door to door.
82 hours total driving actual driving time.
25.8 mpg (all driving included)
63 mph average speed.
The car is absolutely perfect. I can drive this thing for almost 12 hours and not feel exhausted. It handles like a baby carriage, tracks straight and true and nothing puts a strain on it. Get the Multi Contour Dynamic Seats!!!! They are the finest car seat in the world. Not a glitch anywhere and it was the star of the show where ever we went.
The only problem on the entire trip was a blown rear tire on I 40 about 40 miles west of Knoxville, TN. Must have been something in the road but I heard a bang and the car started to make some strange noises. Pulled over and the left rear had a three inch gash in the sidewall...the rim was not touched.
I hit the Telaid button and they were great. Had a tow truck to change the tire there in about 30 mimutes. Called MB of Knoxville and when I arrived they took it in and put on a new tire and I was on my way in about 45 minutes. They would not warranty after calling MB. Inspection showed no defects and the gash indicated a hit by some kind of sharp object.
I know I promised pictures but the only ones I shot were of family and friends. When I get on a highway on a long trip...I drive until I drop with very few interruptions
All in all, this is the most exciting car I have owned and if there is a better one out there...it has not been built or designed yet
