My car..at last

Finally was able to take some pictures of my car. Sorry that I lagged for so long. I still can't find my digital camera . These were taken by a friend of mine in San Diego. So here you go and enjoy. Still need to do alot of Brabus mods on my car -_- the interior is half done. I'll take some pictures of the interior once i get all the Brabus accesories in. Still trying to find someone to help me install those Brabus puddle lights..

Getting my taillights hopefully smoked this week and my Brabus windshield decal redone want my font to be like Europrojektz

Nice!

What size wheels are you running? Are those 19's or 18's?

Those be 18's, I would've gotten 19's with 3.5" lip but then they would have to do Hubcentric work. So I just got wheels that would fit with ease=]

they fit with ease on the 05 "BBK"? no spacers? can you please give me more info on your wheels and where you got them from? I originally thought that 18's with black centers would look too small, but these look pretty good...

also, is the suspension stock?

thanks!

Haha yeah the suspension is stock getting tein super street coilovers soon so it'll look slammed. And no spacers are needed they have perfect fitment most 18"s should. I got them off a company called Spy Engineering if you decide to get rims there say Robert Lo referred you. There service is great. I think 18's are perfect =]

Once you lower it, your car is gonna look great. Quick question though...what about your car is Brabus (other than the emblem, of course)? I don't see "B" centercap, so maybe it's for the mods you still haven't had installed. Don't wanna start a badge war here, just wondering.

I have the B centercap for my rims coming in about a week. Brabus shiftknob, doorsills, floormat, puddle lights, door pins, foot pedals and sway bars are also coming in but there coming at different time intervals. I have the Brabus hood badge emblem already so yeah. Just my Brabus project im working on. Doing Brabus body kit in about a year if everything goes down as planned.

Should I get Brabus Springs and some type of shock combination? any opinions? Thats like around 500$ and Tein coilovers are around what 800-900$?

I've seen Brabus springs with Koni shocks installed on a c230 sedan and it didn't lower much at all (MAYBE an inch). I'd go the coilover route (in fact, I did!). Brand all depends on your budget, but I can safely say that the TEIN Basic c/o's are a great buy if you don't need adjustable dampening. They might not be stiff enough for tracking, but they're great for everyday driving.
