Missing my beloved Benz
I feel the same way, that car isn't worth 40 grand. You got to be kidding me. That person needs to get a life and understand that doesn't even look nice.

Some pics from my KW Variant 2 installation
Some pics from my KW Variant 2 installation
Linky! https://home.comcast.net/~nukblazi/KW_Install/index.htm
Some things to note.
1. The KWs are a little heavier than the H&Rs, however, designwise, they are a significant improvement.
2. In the pictures of the strut housing from the bottom, I am very pissed off because there are signs of cracking at the reinforement attachment points to the housing and a little rust. So very soon, the next project is to clean that up and repaint it. To all my north east brothers, look into it if you drive it in the winter. I BARELY drove mine in the winter, not happy about this.
3. MB REALY ****ED US with the design of the upper mount. Not sure how the Camber/Caster plates will work. after cutting through the three layers of steel to remove that cup, we'll definately have to reinforce the strut housing prior to installing any plate of any design. I need to call Jeff and share these with him.
4. The first two pics are for E (Mr. Space), that is the measurement of the slide adapter for the SuperSprint header.
5. In the last pics, second page of thumbs, you can see the next project, the BMW e30.
6. In the last pic, no my car isn't uneven, it's the road. I measured on a PERFECTLY flat slabe of conrete at my friend's shop.
7. In some pics you can see my aluminum racing 1.5 ton jack. Best investment I have made to date. It ACTUALLY fits under the front valance this low. It's great.
Ultimately I am pissed off at my MB right now. However, I am VERY pleased with my KWs. The H&Rs were great, don't get me wrong, but I am loving my KWs for the adjustability and range of motion.

I know for a fact there are quite a few people on this board alone (myself included), who have far surpassed the "expensive, highly upgraded" threshold claimed by this ugly looking car....
I can't believe someone's actually bidding on this thing !!

is it just me, or does it look like the knob on the air conditioner is missing/broken on that car? and what's the deal with the screens for the backseat, they're not even in the headrests!

The wing and the splitter are the most offensive parts of the car. The rest is quite mild, and pretty good looking in person. Believe it or not, that paint job looks wild at night or in afternoon sunlight.
To me, the area where this car falls way short, is that as an MB sponsored effort, its just too timid, and its all show, no go.

I'm kinda at a loss to what "tha hater" crowd doesn't like about this car. Its only REAL MODS are the over the top wing and the awful splitter. That's it. No body kit, no fart cans, no stickers. The rest is pretty cool. Don't dis the paintjob until you see it in person, its quite nice. Not my style, but this would be ROTM in SoCal.
