finally a real photoshoot

my girl got me a camera for xmas , so now i can actually take some somewhat good quality pictures. now you can see my ///AMG bumpers conversion.

+finally painted my grille black, but i got hit with some small rock chips.
+also rebadged my car, TMP, it's a inside thing for me and my female.
-guess the only negative is that i don't get any FA at all this quarter, plus i owe UCR 3g's for housing. wtf? guess no wheels for me anytime soon, but i hope to get a drop by or after Chinese New Years

also got a carwash, but i doubt it's clean anymore.

Before Wash













After Wash















had to lighten up this pic, made my car look dirty, but it's clean, i swear!

car looks good. now hunt down those infamus AMG sideskirts.

before you lower the car just letting you know that the stock wheel may not have the clearance you need if you decide to do coilover. If you are doing just springs and then shocks later on then you will be fine.

What's the difference between "coil over" and just "coils". I'm planning to replace my C320's shocks and coils (used it too much for towing) soon. Might just as well do the whole suspension-thing as well as rims.

It depends the kind of tips you want. It took me awhile to find the stock benz tip cuz they are very expensive retail until i found a used one on ebay. I remember calling the dealer and they want like about 300 bux or something for a tip. Just a generic tip probably about $50 to $100 each, just a guess.

Coilover is adjustable heights and it's a shock and spring combo. check out tein suspension to see the difference.

I remember it was 300 if you bring your own tips, so not sure how much it is if you bring your own muffler. they have tons of tips there.

I think I payed around $25 or so for my tips when I had my magnaflow put on; I just picked it out of one of the catalogs the shop had to offer.
