New Pix - Same Car

So I've noticed that there's a good amount of bickering going on between the owners of various displacement C's. Well, I don't think I'm really qualified to answer which one is better but what I can say is that the C class is just one helluva good looking car. Just today another person made the effort to come up to me at the gas station and pay compliments to the looks and presence of the vehicle. I for one couldn't have agreed more...

Yada yada yada... that said, I thought I'd post a few more pix of my C. Please... no remarks on the massive front wheel gap - I'll be rid of that soon enough. Just think the overall look as an, ahem, upgraded sports package.

Eric Y.

Nice wheels. If i were to get them I'd like to see if I can get them in gunmetal like the S65 has.

But the Gap is pretty big. Benz should just get rid of the gap on all their cars.

In my opinion, it looks HOT the way it is. I don't really see a significant wheel gap. Looks good!

Thanks for all the compliments guys - I'll keep posting some new pictures as the mods get added.

I'm going to be so bold as to ask if anyone has any feedback/videos/sound clips of what the renntech "sport muffler" that comes with the Performance Package 3 sounds like? Maybe this is worth a new thread.
