Hey everyone, I haven't posted a message on this board for a while. Ive been waiting 6 months to drive this thing, and I am finally going to on Thursday. I decided to name her "Jade" Please let me know what you think, I converted my 2001 Honda Accord into a w220 Brabus style. I did the following:

Custom Conversion W220 Front End with grille, w220 HID headlamps
Custom Front Brabus Kit
Custom Front Fender Flairs (Wide Body)
BMW M3 Style EL LED Mirrors
Shaved Door Handles
Shaved Side Mouldings
Custom Side Skirts from a Lexus GS430 Cyber Kit
Custom Rear Fender Flairs (Wide Body)
Custom Conversion W220 Rear End with grille, w220 tail lights
Custom Rear Brabus Kit

I don't know if the pictures were uploaded on this post, so here are some URL's to follow for pics:

I am going to get the door poppers done by next week as well as wire my headlamps and tailamps. Its in the shop right now because of a terrible job Jiffy Lube is responsible for. It will be ready for me to drive during the day on Thursday but back into the shop on the weekend because I gotta get this whole thing running before I have to go to jury duty! Haha, sorry for the long post. Let me know your thoughts...

to be brutally honest...
i think its gay

One question..why dident you just buy a w220 S Class?

losangelesw220

Thanks Caliz Finest =).

To answer your question, it takes all the fun out of it. There are so many aftermarket parts for this car that are not made for the W220. I have a lot more plans for this thing, but for right now I am pretty happy with what I got. Also the cost difference is unbelieveable. Thanks for your posts

Youre welcome

I think I'm going to be sick. It's like looking at a she-male. Can someone call a cop or something?

i think you all need a heart. that ride is sicc, it could be way faster than a w220 with all those parts you can get for an accord.

losangelesw220

Man it seems you have a weak stomach for some creativity. Call your local law enforcement, just let them know that I didn't mean to do it!

Future Plans that will be in effect ASAC are:

19" or 20" rims
Motor Swap
Custom Mercedes Leather S-Class Style Interior
New system set up
Still need to upgrade a little more on my suspension

Thanks for all your posts!

it's a cool idea. but you could've just gone out an bought a w220. otherwise it's ok...

If I saw you in my beater volvo i would aim it straight in to the front of your car! Merc's arn't my favorite but at least there "in the family" (german) and you are tarnishing not only mercedes name but all german automakers and for that you should be hung. What a disgrace, do you have no class... its a ****king honda
I've always wanted to interview the type of person that does such horriable things to cars and ask them..."what the **** are you thinking?"

I do however give you an A in autoshop 101
You know insurance doesn't cover any of these manure appendages either, so if you crash there not going to pay 1 more dime than it would cost to fix a regular honda...

p010sp0rt8

holy S#!T dood... do u have a full pic of your car.. that's crazy.. and i'm guessing u prolly spent just as much to fix up that accord as a real s class ... i'd like to see it side by side just to see what a size difference it has

losangelesw220

Thank you for all your comments everyone. Since you are also in southern california, I might take you up on your offer to "run your beater volvo into the front of my car." Only problem is you wouldn't live to laugh about it Isn't Mercedes-Benz Daimler Chrysler now? I would love to set up an interview, is 3:00 ok with you? Honestly, I am having a lot of fun with this thing and I have done more stuff to this than you ever could to any Mercedes-Benz.

Now to correct you on your insurance comment, this car is FULLY insured by 21st Century. So if I do crash, then I can go and buy myself a real w220 just to make everyone not look at me so weird! lol.

Thanks for all your comments

If it is TRULY fully insured it must be on a stated value policy. If so what is the value $$??? Afterall I am a lincesed insurance broker

losangelesw220

Thats great to hear, hope the business hasn't been hard on you =). My cars value is $45,000.00. Thanks

it looks unproportioned, you are putting big elements of a big s-class onto a mid-sized sedan, the headlights are way too big, as is the whole front. If you had a car similar to size of an s-class, it would look alright. Each to his own, its your ride man, you like it, then rock it. LATE.

You know wanna-be-s-class man I admire your passiveness. I'm sure your a great person- but just a little confused at times

medici78

I find it to be downright ugly. That said, however, it is very creative. Just not my cup of tea.

shaggy982

Can I ask you something? If a used S class could be bought for more or less $45,000 why wouldn't you just go ahead and do that? Even if you buy all genuine exterior and interior parts, it won't ever function like a true S class nor will it provide the safety and comfort of one. If I may offer a suggestion, sell the car to someone willing to actually pay $45,000 and get yourself a used W220.

shaggy982

(either what I mentioned earlier, or drive it off a bridge and get reimbursed by your insurance company)

Another reason no one takes Honda seriously. Just save up and buy a Benz if u want it that bad.

Before commenting negatively on someone else please learn to spell properly.

As for the thread starters car, It's okay, I can't wait to see the end results. It's a show car right? Some may take different cars in different tastes depending on how they use it. If I saw it on the road I would be apaulled, however at a show, it'd be kind of cool.

SportyS

You guys realize, this has got to be a joke, right? I mean come on. THat's the grossest thing I've seen since Frankenstien's MOnster.

shaggy982

since we're on the spelling topic; it's appalled, not "appaulled".

shaggy982

anooj, do we know of any forums that would better suit him? perhaps a forum for people with pontiac fieros converted to look like a lamborghini?
