At night at can probably be mistaken for the old c class. Even though it's a wanna-a-be MB grill, it makes the car look nice. I might even get it of i had that body.

I would Wannabe an MB...
Definitely to each his own, I love the look of that TL, now I know how it looks like in black. If I had an extra $7-800 to spend I'd get that grill it's definitely tight, but yeah it is kinda flashy.
He definitely gotta get rid of those rims, after spending that much on the grill he gets some cheap a$$ rims??? At least get them in chrome??? It does no justice

do u think the grill looks like MB ones? I think so.... it doesn't make the car any nicer, it just make me feel the owner do not have the money to get the mercedez.....
btw.... if u have seen the Lorinser rims for Mercedez, you might know what I am talking about

If you do a search in the forum for BLAZE grill
you will find that in the recent past, the BLAZE grill was a top item that A LOT of owners were seeking out for a group buy.
It may not be appealing to you but there are A LOT of folks who were dying to get their hands on one here on this board last year.

It's very common for an automaker to use another automaker's visual cues to build on an established association and influence buyers. The TL has several cues taken from other luxury brands. It's a little unfair to suddenly say "MB WANNABE!" just because you recognize one of these cues.
The fact is, 90% of the people who see that grill when the TL is going down the road are simply going to think "hmm luxury car" because MB has been using that style and created a strong "horizontal bars in grill = luxury car" association in most people.
I think it looks very nice, by the way.
Oh and another thing: most chicks will simply see "$$$ luxury car $$$" when they see the grill
could be a cheap way to get the MB reaction without actually owning a MB hehe

MY opinion that 94 civic is a soon to be KINDA hot whip. I like some rice cars. JUst not to much and that 02 C-class front is a sick conversion. A few new yorker. Gt to be from Queens though. Pardon to all the Queens heads, but thats the so-called tricked-out import borough.

I don't understand why people try to pretend to be a Benz.... it's a TL and it's only a TL.... a civic is a civic.....what's the point?? If they like the Mercedez they should've got one instead of making their cars into piece of sh*t

Oh yea..by the way, if you post pics of someones car, especially if you don't know the owner, be courteous and white out the tag number.

One of a kind usually means creative creation. But not simply put another car's nose on your car and put another rear on it. It's called bad taste of copying.
Regardless of the guy's background. It is still bad taste. I don't mind people rice their car out. But at least do it with some class, borrowing C-class front end is not creative. It's down right stupid.
