I don't know...
Seems kind of incongruent for my taste. The fender flares scream "touring car", but the wheels are more rap video than sport. So, the paint and the wheels are luxury, but the flares imply sport. Otherwise, very nice car!

Definitely needs better wheels. He went sport on the upgrades and all and then ebay'd it for some wheels, threw some paint and called it a day?

is it me or do the flares remind you of the new S class?

I don't want to be too critical. We complain about boring American made cars and then criticize too harshly when something out of the box comes along.
Widebody kits on any sedan take getting used to. Red color matched lips as well. Paint is rather flamboyant, too. I'd rather a differently designed wheel but all in all, I like it and would drive it.
