Did a debadge last night and was pretty upset to find the e320 emblem has either stained my paint or my clearcoat. Looks like im going to have to cover it up with another emblem. Looks like ****. The day before the show too...auuuryte.

Carshow pics. Hot Import Nights Honolulu 2014. Up against 2 other Mercedes for the Hottest Mercedes trophy. Lost to an SLK55amg on Konig wheels and eibach springs. Don't think the judges know or care for brabus lol. Oh wells. Good fun at the event. Congrats to the winners.

As for my emblem staining. I cut out a sticker in the shape of my stock e320 emblem and put the sticker on there for now till I get a brabus emblem to cover up the stains.





Lol my GF in the back doing some JDM peace signs.

YES THEY DID! Keep a look out. This one took me about 5 years to find. I kinda wanted a 330kph one...but eh. The US one is cool too.

More work on the car. Installed rear camber arms and stretched tires a little bit. Took the front Michelin 245 and threw it on the rear. Now running 225 front. Still Michelin PSS front and rear. Made the rear camber more positive, and going to space it out a bit to get it flush with the fender. Front camber kit and spacing to come.




The rear stretch. Kinda minor but not too bad. will help with the look im going for and still be a little conservative. that's a 245/40 on a 18x9.5.



New look. The rear camber is correct now, the front is still around 3 though. Going to do the Kmac kit on the front and a huge spacer to bring the tire out. Minor stretch.

HAHA nah, I like those stanced cars, but im going for a clean and flush look...not all cambered out on super skinny tires. The box tire was keeping me from getting the necessary positive camber required to remain that low, but have fender clearance.

Did you make your rear camber arms? I know KMAC has a kit that goes on the control arm bushings but they're expensive

Any update on the leather?!

I assembled the rear camber arms myself yes. The kmac kit involves the lower control arm bushings and toe arm bushings yes, but this one is much more simple. If you search w124 upper control arm mod, they tell you how to piece it together. Total was less than 100 bucks. Its super easy to install and uses all factory hardware. Can install in about 15-30 mins, depending on what tools you have.

The leather is in a holding pattern right now because I need to find someone else to wrap my parts. The girl who was originally going to do it has been flaking on me.
