Here's an update. Haven't been on this forum for quite some time. Changes i've made... no more 19s and got carbon fiber hood. Raised the front coil overs by 1.2 inch, rear coil overs are still at the lowest settings. Enjoy.

 

Clean and simple! The ride must be much better than when you had your 19s..I have been thinking to get 17s as well and sell my 19s!

Enjoy the ride..

 

that looks very clean.
i love the new look.
what type of wheels did you have on before?
maybe a before and after comparison?
also, have you thought about getting a euro teck front lip and maybe get rid of the front plate? i just got my holes repatched and entire bumper repainted - it looks super clean (i will post pics soon).=

 

looks very nice and classy

 

that looks great Johnny! I like!

 

cf hoods will always look nice on a black car. the fitment looks good too. loving the black grille to top it off.

 

nice johnny, did the cf hood give you any problems during installation?

 

super duper hot!!!!

 

Johnny, why'd you get rid of the 19's?

 

hood looks great!

 

I was wondering if you need to take off the front CO to adjust the ride height. Or you can adjust it when it is still on the car?

Anyway, it is a nice ride you have there !

 

nice! i wish my black on black looks like that!

 

Thanks for the comment. About the Euro Teck Front Lip, i was on the top 20 list but didn't pay on time. I thought the first 20 would be guarantee a purchase, but unfortunately, it was whoever paid first.

Wheels i had before were 18" and 19" Lorinser LM6 reps. You can find my old pictures here https://mbworld.org/forums/classifieds/150364-lorinser-19-sale.html

As with the front plate, i'm just too lazy to take it out.

 

Yea, it wouldn't fit properly at all!!! Had to take it to a body shop to shave some residue underneath the carbon fiber to make it fit. Other than that, everything was ok.

 

Thanks

To adjust the coil overs height, only had to remove the wheel. Tein gives you two keys in which you turn to lower or raise a car. Takes no longer than 10 minutes.

 

Bad luck with 19s i guess. Hit 3 different pot holes driving on the freeway at night. Burst all 3 tires within 5 months. Didn't want to spend additional money on 19" tires.

 

I never liked CF, but that does look good on YOUR car.
How much lighter is the CF hood?

 

I love the CF Hood and wish I had one. I know what you mean about the potholes. You should see the ones in NY area. Sometimes they are like moon craters. Thats why I haven't switched over to 19's. After I save enough money, I'm going to do Tein's and than 18's Monoblock most likely.

I'm not sure... but let's just say that when opening the hood, the shocks opens that thing like there's no tomorrow. I mainly bought it for looks.

 

clean, nice CF hood looks good hows the ride with the Coilovers & 17" wheels
