Default Rieger S5 - I am not sure if i like it, do You?

I had seen these pictures a while back and was not 100% sold, I took another look today and
still some thing is not working for me. I like the S5 and I typically like Rieger equipment but
something does not seem to be working; what do you think?

Has some merits, but overall it looks bolted on and "heavy".

All the kits out there, seem to have something attractive about them, but in their entirety..........they seem to compromise the style. I have looked hard, but I can't justify the expense to simply "change" the look, rather than enhance the look.

Just my opinion. I know there is a complete culture that lives for these mods, but I just don't see the point yet.

From the rear it looks like an M3. The front doesn't look too bad and the side looks a little cheapened. And I'm not a fan of big wheels, so sorry if it offends, but they look stupid and the car is way too low.

Stop messing with things that don't need to be changed in the first place.

As mentioned above, very "tank" looking, but I do love the wheels.

Think it looks a bot too "pimped out." Car lost a bit of it's class and sophistucation. Exhaust tips a bot too much.

I like it except I think the rear valence needs to be black, nothing else on the car is that color grey. Has a different look to it....cheers!

From the front and side it looks nice, but I'm not a fan of the rear valence and exhaust. The exhaust tips look way too big and the rear valence is a little overboard and doesn't work well with the rest of the car.

Front okay, sides okay, back not okay, wheels are overkill and too big. It's not supposed to be an Escalade.

Not completely sold on the rear and wheels, but I'm digging everything else tbh. Though I agree it strays away from the classy look and into the sporty side, which is why the humongous wheels throw me off.
