White is not my favorite color but it suits luxury cars. I'm not a big fan of the front but it's cool to see mods for the car. The wheels are okay, not my fave either but I like the size 21's. What do you guys think?

I like the CL550, but not the kit nor the wheels. It would have looked better with simply the AMG sport package IMO

I'm not really a fan of kits with little slotted openings in them.

The wheels aren't bad at all. It's the body kit that makes the wheels not so hot.

Truth!! Though I kinda like the wheels, but not on this car.

Honestly, I dont think I've seen ANY kit for a MB that looked better than the AMG kit (well that Brabus Rocket CLS kit in the other thread is badass though ). Most of the kits I've seen look extremely tacky compared to what AMG has to offer. They offer an incredible mix of sport and class.

I posted this car because I was thinking the kit wasn't very attractive. To make sure I wasn't off in la la land, I asked for your opinions. Now that I see we all feel similarly, I'm wondering about the kit creator. His taste stinks. Why didn't someone else give a negative opinion before all the cash spent to produce this thing can about?

Just one of things that make you say, hmmm.

I love the kit, but the wheels make the car looks cheap...

Didn't MOMO have a similar wheel design like those?

That kit cheapens the car

Anyways, the AMG kit is perfect for that CL, and if I was to go with 21's, gotta go with the traditional Lorinser RS8 turbine

I've seen this car in person and was not impressed at all. Taillight still looks like the Acura CL in person (even the name CL)

well to each his own. i mean, no matter how ugly a kit is (we think), someone is going to like and buy it. that's just how things work

to me it's always by all means, if you like it.... go for it..... it's not my money
