Look at the rear exhuast

Sorry, too much for me, though I am sure its a high quality kit. Whatever happened to understated elegance? Why must so many luxury cars insist of having the "HEY LOOK AT ME" look, no matter stock or aftermarket?

So far, the new S class looks the best to me with the AMG kit .

Love the look, but I think the wheels kill the look. Not sure though!

Not really feeling the kit. I didn't like the vented fenders on the W220 Lorinser kit, and on the W221, it just accentuates the flares even more.

The front fender gills look terrible. The rims aren't so hot.

The rest is good though.

i'll just take a regular black S550, with the nice wheels not the ones that looks like it has 20 spokes on it. im sure if ur in a S-Class, you've be already seen, no need to be cocky about it. haha

Those gills and rims really really kill it for me. That car is already busy.

The simplicity of the AMG bodykit and some other bodykit that I saw works best for the new S-class.

Agreed; the AMG treatment on the new S looks phenomenal. Anything more agressive looks like crap on that car.

the fender vents are overkill too much for a super luxo ride like that
