European car tuning company MEC Design has released a new body kit for the Mercedes Benz S-Class with several options for the customer. The front received a two-face front bumper hookup which allows the customer to choose between having the air intakes filled with daytime running lights and fog lights, or simply mesh. Moving onto the rear of the vehicle, you have the option of a rear diffuser or a sport version diffuser which you see pictured. A custom stainless steel quad exhaust system is installed with either diffuser option. With the custom exhaust, the owner is given the option of the ‘Earthquake’ version which delivers maximum sound, or they can choose a milder version that is close to the stock sound.
