My mom always said, "if you don't have anything nice to say, say something mean"... or at least that's how I remember it! In all seriousness, I was just providing suggestions and realize that everyone's modding styles are different. Welcome to the forum and never stop modding.

If you're looking for a "different" look then black rims with a chrome lip isn't what you're looking for, unless the rims are a flat black and not shiney. There are some WORK rims that have that Flat black look. Also, Work has a color that is called "burning black". It's somewhere in between gunmetal and black, but it's shiny. Looks very clean. I think black painted centers with chrome lip looks very nice, regardless, but if you're trying to be "different" that's not something that would be really "different". Black reflective tint?...They have that? I thought all mirror tint had more silver qualities than black? (I could be wrong, so not hating on the idea...just never seen that).

If you were thinking of getting your rims dipped, I suggest just changing the rims (but keeping the tires - assuming they're still good). There are a lot of rim options out there, depending on the budget. Getting your rims dipped will still be relatively pricey (depending on how good the quality is).

As for suspension, there is a long list of setups that you can do and/or combinations. Just as an FYI, springs are a portion of a coilover setup so asking what's better between springs and coilovers is not really a logical question. I think what you mean to ask is, which would be better to get? Aftermarket springs w/ stock shocks, aftermarket springs w/ aftermarket shocks? Ride height adjustable coilovers or Fully adjustable coilovers? Our answers all depend on what your needs are. I suggest taking a look at the 2 suspension threads in the sticky above "Aftermarket Mods / DIY".

Aw, man. Just made me sad. Were you able to find somebody to do the AMG or '05+ updated bumper?

What's the progress?
