My C-350 Coupe "Build"
So, thought i would start a thread on my progress of my C-350 Coupe. Car has been great for the past year! Had a few runs with some 335i Coupes & 4Door; one modded and 2 stock, along with a g37xs Sedan my brothers 14' E550 V8 Bi-Turbo sedan and 11' E550 Coupe V8 N/A.
Race #1- 07-08 335i Coupe- Manual- D/P & Exhaust- 40-110 He Pulled me by a car, car and a half.
Race #2- 07-08 335i Coupe- Auto DCT Trans -Stock- 0-90 I was able to reel him in around 65 and started pulling
Race #3- 14- 335i- Sedan- Auto DCT Trans- Stock- 0-75 Dead even; until 60 and i was going to start to pull on him, but we had to slow down due to traffic.
Race #4- 10' G37XS- Sedan- Auto- Stock- 10-90 Pulled on him instantly.
Race #5- 14' E550- Sedan- Auto- Stock- 0-70 After 65 E550 started pulling, if we continued brother would have put a good amount of car lengths on me.
Race #6- 11' E550- Coupe- Auto- Exhaust- 45-105 Dead even, which surprised me
. Think the lightweight helped my car in this situation. He was going to start pulling for sure after 105 mph'ish.

So, by now (After a few months i got bored) with that said i fell in love with the idea of plasti-dip. So easy to apply and take off whenever i please; and i must say the results are amazing! Here are some pictures fellas;
Blacked out the wheels

Blacked out the grill but kept the emblem chrome, along with blacking out the chrome led "fogs" and the front license plate frame.

Blacked out the emblems and the chrome strip on the trunk and the trunk license plate frame.

Yes, the chrome trim will be blacked out as well. I am going for the murdered out theme. Future plans in the next month is suspension. Constructive criticism always welcomed.

Sorry buddy, but the car looks so less classy than before. I never found de-croming a black c-class a good idea. Especially, with a plastidip (Matt colour). If I had to do this move, which I will never do, I would have plastidip it with gloss black instead.

Love the blacked out grill. I think it will look great on my polar white coupe. Other than that - not my cup of tea, sorry.
Your success or failure in a drag race vs similarly specced cars is greatly affected by a driver's skills, road/tire conditions, etc.. But nice to see you being on a par (or better) with those guys.
You know what your car is missing bud? Xenon headlights.. Sorry I had to say this but you probably know it yourself.
