I understand that everyone likes to pull and shave but why don't anyone use flares.I was looking at the s550 and the way there flares looks good the way they flow.Im thinking of going this way but not sure yet what do yall think
of some flares that look like these.

those would be metal flares. i believe the aftermarket flares are FG or some sort of plastic.
if you wanted to do that flare, i bet it'd be money cuz its all custom work

yeah i think that the mbz looks ugly. if you do use fender flares they generally wont be metal, they will be either plastic or fiberglass and you will have mold them to the body. which means you will repaint almost the whole car. so good luck it will cost you a pretty penny. jmo

The subtle body lines along the GS fenders are one of the things I like about the car, I think the flares would ruin that. A pull keeps those lines.
