The Beast (warning a lot of pics)...

As you guys might be aware of from my other thread, the Beast had some work done exterior, interior, and audio/video...I took some pics today after getting a chance to drive it after 3 months...it's going back on Monday for complete venture shielding/clear shielding of the front of the car (the whole hood, both front fenders, front bumper, front spoiler lip, headlights/running lights/fog lights, and A pillars)

Bear with me on my pics...my composition is pretty bad since I'm a newbie with this camera and taking decent pics in general...enjoy...

Sinister and ready to pounce. Beautifully executed.

Not to be trifled with by lesser machines.

They were taken apart and painted...the prep work was a biatch because the first try the paint stated to bubble up...it was stripped and more prep work was done to get the paint to properly cure and settle...We are actually going to put a protective clearshield coating w/a 30% tint on them on Monday.

Where and how did you swap out the emblem on the steering wheel?
I actually got that off Ebay...! I didn't like it at first but it has grown on me...a lot. It just sticks on the OEM steering wheel emblem.

EDIT: jesus you even got the black rear view mirror. if im not mistaken, those are only on 63s?
That is the OEM mirror that we had dyed black...along with all the headliner bits...I didn't take upload pics of the new black alcantara headliner but it is sweet and can only be appreciated in person...those pics are in my project thread...

Guys...thanks for all the kind words. Besides the Beast looking cherry now, I ACTUALLY drove it today and I almost forgot the true joy in stomping down on this torque monster (especially since its modded as much as you can engine wise...Victor/Vadim hurry up with the other goodies)...I put 1/2 premium and 1/2 "race" gas today and I was in heaven!!!!!!

I have a tear in my eye. That is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. The details are amazing. The beast lights in the grille, the AMG doorpins, the black rear view mirror, the black headlights, those beautiful rims, that amazing steering wheel.... It's pure sex. If I were you I'd never part with that car. And honestly, I dont know if there's anything else that can be done to it. ****ing amazing!!!!!

Optical illusion or did you black out the exhaust tips too!

Truly amazing & menacing look! Excellent job!

Thanks guys...It's funny that when I took the car home to show my wife the first thing she asked me was what happened to all the chrome and "shiny" wheels. She asked me why have a car like this and not have it stand out and be "shiny"...

God bless her...I told her it was for the satisfaction it gave me and that I didn't want to get noticed in the bling bling way like her Louis Vitton's and Gucci purses . I wanted my peers who new about cars to take a second look because they could appreciate the time and effort it took to achieve a certain subtle ninja demeanor rather than a WWF "look at me" circus.

With that said....She still wants me to get shiny wheels.
