I would not debadge either, it gets annoying as hell trying to explain to idiots that think you have a 430 or something.
Enjoy the new ride, you have a quite the nice stable!

Those wheels were made for the sclass....a perfect match. The color adds to the stateliness of the car. The look is right....except for the smoked tails. Doesn't flow well with this type of car imo. Nice to hear someone getting a great deal, they're usually over priced.

Lowenhart LDR's 20x8.5 in front and 20x10 in the rear. Lorinser rear deck lid, smoked taillights and side marker lights. Finishing it with MB Quartz Q's 6.5's front and rear, Alumapro 12's in the rear, 2-500 watt JBL amps for the 12's and JBL 450 for the Q's. Very happy with all the work done... What do you think?
Its raining so the pics arent the best.

I see alot of guys dont like the smoked tails. Havent had them long just trying a new look. I have a set of non smoked as well for when I get sick of the smoked look. Maybe the pics dont do it justice but in person the tails look sweet. I questioned it when I saw them but after they went on it looked nice...Different. Anyway it was a christmas present from my wife. She tried to be creative and do something different. Bought the tails and sent them out to be done. I give her credit for thinking of it. For those not liking the tails heres a front pic..

I didn't like the LS430 in 01, the 745 in 02 the 545 in 03 etc etc but after a while you come to like them. I really think the huge shock that the 745 initially gave the marketplace has really spurred other automakers to "ramp it up" in the styling department. The new S with the crazy fenders and bustle butt trunk, the new A8 with the huge schnoz, etc etc.

Yea I have to give her credit for creativity. She tried and I had to at least put them on. But like D-2 explains about the different cars he originally didnt like but grew on him . The taillights are having the same effect. In certain lights and different times of the day they look pretty good. I am sure I will get sick of them soon and change them back...

DON'T take those tails off. I think they look excellent especially with the 4 pin stripes. Without those stripes it wouldn't work, but this example is as classy as the car.
