Question Would U Rock This Benz...?



2008 Mercedes Benz CL w/ full Lorinser Pkg, 22" Forgiato 3-pc, and a drop.

Just curious how many here like or dislike this type of modded Luxo-Coupe?

Why or Why Not?

And I'm sure u already know my answer... "Thank u sir may I have another!"
I absolutely l o v e how they did away with the B Pillar and it's this loooong looking wedge of glass (actually 2 pieces). Just absolutely, positively, stunningly, crazily, insanely N I C E!!!

That would be practical for Beverly Hills.

The wheels on the 2nd one look okay. As far as the kit is concerned, it's a bit gaudy for my tastes. I'd prefer the AMG bodykit over the Lorinser anyday.

new CL is ugly, surprising that someone would actually copy the 6 series down syndrome

Wow that's pretty funny... LOL!

This car in this form would easily draw as much attention and curbside appeal as any Exotic, believe that.

Both wheels are pretty nice. That first one is more aggressive looking though

I've seen the new cl in person and won't bash it too much.
Don't like that hideous front grill and acura RL/CL taillight.
I love the old 215, much more sleeker

I would not have chosen them myself, not fond of the spokes

+1 , I think the AMG body kit is still the best choice over the others.

+1 The current one is ok, but I much prefer the previous generation of this car.

The kit is a bit much for my taste but I do like the wheels on the first car.

The Lorinser kit's are going downhill but the CL is pretty sick. It's growing on me, I think I'm starting to like it over the previous.
As for the wheels, it depends on the kit.

Not focusing on any one part the car looks sick.

Looking at the details, the kit is so so.

I am sure if it was rolling by it would look hot.
