If the Latvians from Dartz are the undisputed Tzars of kitsch and opulent cars in Europe, then Lexani hold the US throne for the most tasteless car modifications on their continent when it comes to aftermarket wheels and engine grilles.
The following video shows their latest project car, which started out as a “basic” Mercedes-Benz S 550 (500 in Europe and other countries).

In short, Lexani dispensed with the stock rims and put a set of LS-175 “dubs” in chrome finish and with directional design.

Since that was clearly not enough, they also proceeded to replace the original Mercedes-Benz engine grille with a chromed mesh grille that is apparently of their own design.

Since the chromed chicken wire thing in the front and too much chrome in general isn't exactly our thing, we're gonna pass this one from the favorites list.

What do you guys think about it? Yay or nay?
