If your gonna leave that 430 badging, then your gonna have offset those wheels so they stick out past the fenders by at least 3 inches.....no less

Thats when you KNOW your cool.

Do it and you'll join the ranks of Mercedes "clone" owners that are rollin a 500 that's really a 320 with numbers that "look crooked like King Kong shook it".

If you get the reference you have good taste in music

Just like when i drove behind a brand new 06 GS w/ a "Soarer" Emblem.

But it sure gave me a laugh though.

Well, we all read it, didn't we? And, as far as the '01 tails installed on a 98-00 GS goes, not only did I put them on while keeping the original GS400 emblem, I got a personalized license plate that reads "GS4HDRD" so there is no doubt that I am not trying to misrepresent what is under the hood. Besides, the 400 is faster than the 430 anyway. (OOOH, that's gonna rile some folks up)

LOL, dude i'm with U!!

As long as your gona do it, do it well! Make sure you have the 01+ tails so you don't look stupid!!

Like i see some fool driving a S430 and has a S55 badge, LIKE COME ON!!!!! No quad tips, riced out tip on each side!! barely looks like a 500.

And S430 is small compared to a 55 or a 500... I laughed at him good at the light "i'm like Nice S55 dude!! HAHA"


But ya, I would take a 400 any day of the week over the 430!! With-out the E-gears, its worthless!!

So do what u like, but if u gona do it, do it right or dont do it at all!

A 400 with 430 badge and 01 tails hard 2 distinguish unless you know about the E-gear, but most don't, so
