Here's proof of how hardcore flip is! This was already around 1130pm, after he helped me put on this steering wheel... Now that's what you call a w203 FANATIC!

Nope. I was taking the pic. The light holder was Andy...HAHAHA.

It would've been much easier if we had access to a lift that late at night, but oh well...Then, I probably could've helped.

LOL...Frank, in comparison to the monster that IS your car, even with the suspension setup, you'll still leave me in the dust!...hahahaha.

Even still, I think the only reason is cuz we're always driving separately to do photoshoots. Next time, for sure.

Really, I never thought I'd get this involved at all. I thought I'd do my few mods and be done.

That being said, right now, I'm just taking it step-by-step. Until my car isn't my "daily driver" anymore, I don't know if I'll be at the point to consider my car "magazine" or "show" ready (especially cuz the interior/bose audio is pretty boring and will be for a while - last priority).
we should do 3 of our cars together or something.

Too true. If you enjoy getting after it in the corners, the mod funds for 'bars are easily justified.
You'll appreciate them every time you get behind the wheel. Masakit ang kamay ko, but only because mig888 didn't do my install!

These are the only OZ's I really liked a lot. If they had the Superturismo's in a multi-piece rim, I would've considered those too. Basically, I chose these because of the CLK DTM rims - outsourced by OZ. (which are made from the Superleggera III design).

Either way, they're pretty light considering they are 19's and they are 3 piece rims.
