haven't posted in a while, so here's an update

Since the last time I posted, I sold my Maya rims, had CarLAB install Tein Basics and an authentic Brabus front and rear bumpers. The boys at CarLAB have some other mods planned... so stay tuned.

I'm currently rolling on some borrowed 17" split spoke AMG's while i wait for my new rims to arrive. I'll post some photos when the new rims finally arrive (7 weeks and counting! )

JesLet - Thanks! The BIX were a factory installed option.

rlee02135 - Thanks as well.Try giving CarLAB a call to get a price quote on the Brabus bumpers.

patrick_y- I noticed that you are local. Give Darwin or Jose a call at CarLAB and I am sure that they can get a hold of a set of the split AMG rims for you if you can't find them.

Tangerine - I could tell you... but then i'd have to kill you To be honest, I don't even know some of the things that they want to do to the car.

nlpamg - Thanks Phil! I cant wait for my new rims though! They should make the car "pop". It's the waiting part that kills me! I mean 7 weeks so far and counting!?!? I've never waited this long for a set of rims!

Nice Brabus setup! I would lower your car much more, doesn't seem it is at the lowest setting.

OEM C55 one. I got it from the dealership, but at the time we ordered it, we had to use a C55 VIN to get it. I don't know if thats true anymore.

Yea, it's not at the lowest setting right now... I'm actually waiting for the new rims to arrive before I do the final adjustments to the ride height.

Hopefully the rims arrive this week... *keeping fingers crossed*
