Default c-class benz with front conversion "swizz"

tonight I was on the southern state parkway, saw something strange as i roll in traffic.. seems like the typical c-class benz, get closer....

It has painted a deep pearl white so its almost beige, rear bumper had a kit I hadn't seen before and had the exhaust in the center. Nicknamed "swizz" on the trunk and it looked like it said c550 on the other side, but it could have said 350, nonetheless... Roll to the side and realize there is color keyed burlwood accents on the side skirt. So I say to myself, hmmm creative. Continue to pass slowly (mind you were in traffic as the road goes from 3 lanes to 1), and realize, holy shyt, the whole front is changed. study it for a quick second - that's what it is, and Audi. They blended the two fronts together so it was totally Audi and not totally Benz, looked kinda sweet.

So I roll down my sunglasses to get a better look at the work and let the guy know I appreciate the craftsmanship. The work seemed to be pretty sweet as everything lined up well and most definitely flowed with the body. I wouldn't normally say about one of those transformers, but I was truly amazed. As he moved a few cars ahead I saw he had the wood accent on the rear bumper too. But what shocked me was the front end conversion and how well it fit the car. I wish I had a better view during the day to see what I was really working with, but from the looks of it, the conversions were executed very well. Hate it or love it, the work looked as if it was definitely there....

there was too much going on with that car, even the wheels looked weird like they added something around where the lugs are.
