Default AMG x GS = ???

I hope this isn't a repost but I just came across this JDM Aristo with a pretty crazy conversion. It looks like the front off of a AMG C63. I'm not 100% sold on it but major props for the labor intensive work

that looks absolutely horrendous.


WHY do people want to make these cars look like Mercedes on the outside or bmw's on the inside or sound like infinitis with an exhaust? Things like this make me shake my head.

people like you make me sick. You're the reason the real good craftsmen go out of business because people won't just pay the money for a good part and would rather buy some cheap half-assed knockoff.

Meh, bodykit with sharp edges on a round car doesn't do it for me. To each his own though.
