My Big Unveil - Finally Detailed and Ready for Pix and Specs =)

Introducing MacBeth
1999 C43 Silver Arrow 97K
Two Tone Interior

I am very very very happy with the way MacBeth sits and stands. Very aggressive and a very
slight rake. Going 100MPH and very stable and corners great. This is exactly what i wanted.
I wouldn't even mind if the rear was up a little higher.

I have a tiny bit of chirping coming from the front driver side well where
the tire rubs on bumps. Drives extremely well balanced. All new bushings, control arms and the
works you name it, its been replaced at the MBZ Dealer with ALL Genuine parts. I spent a grip of
cash and dialed her in realllllly well. Full 100K tune up no corners cut, I mean NO corners have
been cut no expense has been spared. My trunk lip spolier arrives tomorrow, my fog light arrives
Wednesday. Still looking for an awesome carbon fiber interior trim set up. But for the rest ,
All I have left to do is detail the interior, treat and condition, pull the pin stripe off, and Im DONE !!

I want to replace my tires and get
215/40/18 Up front
255/40/18 in the rear

She looks very nice indeed. Have you thought of adding some color coded door handles?

I have considered, and yes indeed going to do it as soon as I have the
time to take it all apart and off the car to paint. Painting them is the easy part of this equation for me lol taking them off , not so much

Yeah, mine is no where near show condition.

I think I've seen 3 or 4 C43's in the last 5 or 6 years in the Carolinas. Of course that never happens when I am driving mine.
