As I've stated before one of the best looking sedans around, great choice. Nice front lip.

All the background blurring distracts from the pictures but I like it.

I like the lip too. The pixelated background makes the car pop, no so much with the blurred one IMO.

The roof racks ... well, they're roof racks on a C-class sedan. They kinda remind me of handles. But these things serve a purpose, they aren't mean't to be purdy. The racks and window screens make me wonder if someone is resisting getting a family hauler.

Car looks clean!

Thanks for the comments

CAK 500 - Just wanted to do some quick blur to hide the neighboorhood. It was not meant to be artistic or anything. Just don't want my neighboor to be pissed off. you read my mind about resisting getting a family hauler! LOL. I am losing the battle here. We are expecting another one so we definately need more room. The C is just too small, 7 is getting old and so is the CRV. The other 2 are roadsters so I am not sure how much longer I can resist. .

the roof rack bars are REALLY high...i'd expect a more sleek finish in an OEM part. otherwise, nicely done...my friend has one, just installed HID fogs and springs/wheels for her. beautiful car!

I like the before picture w/o the roof crossbars.

I like the after picture with the lowering and front lip.

You should have left the wheels the way they were.
