R badges, chrome lip on the rims, red brakes... might as well go to Autostyle now and slap on a fiberglass bumper and side skirts!! DRL fairy light in the bumper and sticker bomb it and your car might look ok.. not great but ok..

I doubt that merc has air suspension, but I could be very wrong.
The car did look really nice though.

I initially thought it had bags but then I realised this is the autostyle show so most probably cut springs type of effort.

A friend of mine actually did his car at Stable Rides. No problems so far and it actually looks pretty good. Personally I am too risk averse to try the short cut to save a couple hundred.
