Pics of my new ride!!!

I picked up an '05 C230 SS a couple of weeks ago and have done a few things already. Thought I'd share some pics. These are the only ones I have at the moment and the car is filthy. I'll post better ones when it's clean.

Wheels: iForged Sprint 19x8.5 Front, 19x9.5 Rear
Suspension: H&R
CL style grill and flat badge

Thanks. I actually prefer no tint. Unfortunately I bought the car this way so I need to have it removed.

The front is actually lower than it looks in the pic. There's a slight incline, so when I put it in park the car rocked backward.

Yeah, a lot of us have this wheel now. Just don't get the upgraded engraved center caps like me, that way mine will stand out (crappy pic).
