lol, i wanted 18's since like forever. i would love to keep my mpg as it is
and i got my H&R/Konis on ice, waiting for next FA. the trim was a B TCH to put in, i swear i read up on so many threads looking for the right way to do it.. and in the end i broke a piece of my AC vent, LMAO! they ain't lyin' when they say the door is a PITA also, it took me forever to get the clips out, and then to put them back in. then i had to push and push to realign the door with the window.

haha, i'll just redo it, but thanks anyways. i have a tendency to stay behind big rigs and big *** 4x4's. damn rock chips. do you know what i can do to prevent it? clearcoat didn't work for me, and i sprayed it 4-5x.

thanks, it was hard but it turned out pretty well. there are some messups, but in the end i feel proud i did it myself

the gap is huge, it was bad before, but now with the rims it's OD. lmao.

i'm good, i've been waiting for some 18's, seems like everyone has 19's. with the potholes all over LA/Riverside, it's gonna work out well for me. i'm 5'5'' and i think my hands are small, but it is at least a 3-4 inch gap

what I learned from doing model car and 1/28 scale r/c that looks like model car: thicker the clear coat it's actually easier to chip since it'll be harder and less compliant. you want a even coat or two and polish it instead. Be sure to sand the chrome down and primer it.

Mu9enx

hmmm, that makes sense! thanks for the tips frank

what polish would you recommend?

FrankW

get the highest grit sandpaper wet sand it and then go get some good 3M polish and buff it out.

since i was shooting through my windows last time [left my keys in dorm], here are the better pics. what do you guys think?

FrankW

that looks great

I'm impressed by how you manage to match the angle of the pattern on the center console. where did you get the vinyl sheet from btw?

Mu9enx

thanks

i took a lotta time doing this, and in the end it came out a lot better than i have hoped. there were some hiccups, but yes!
the sheet was from decalfx

Yes, most of the exterior is done! was back home in Sacramento for springbreak, and just had to snap some pics. feels good to see my car go from stock to what it is now, and it's all thanks to the help from this forum! thank you guys for such a great place to learn and have fun in customizing my own car. i have now driven over 12,000 miles in this w203, and i am happy to say another 12,000 should be no problem! thanks to everyone that inspired my car to what it is now, and i hope i'll someday be able to catch up with yall with the next phase.

- put on MJ's K&N air filters, along with the kevlar intake tubes
- finally put on examinas' CL grille. [see you in CL hell! ]
- fixed all curb rashes and the bend on my wheels at TWS
- black brabus center caps [thanks cleve! ]
- put on the Euroteck CF lip
- dropped my car with H&R sport springs [1/2 a coil cut up front], along with Koni yellow shocks [thanks lance ]
- got my AUTHENTIC eisenmann slapped on [but no pics as it was done a few days ago] sounds so heavenly and growly
- drove home somewhat intoxicated, and scratched my front bumper [very irresponsible of me, i know ]







and a bonus shot of my old 2-hanging-penises muffler, along with my cousin's new c300.

Do you have a spacer in the rear? What is the offset back there?

ChristianJan

Lookin good bro. What's next?

kompressorc230

Nice job for the CF interiors

Are you going to get bixenons or BBK soon?

KIRA

smoke the fog light man... match up the car whole lot more

FrankW

coming along nicely eh...looking good

Mu9enx

thanks a lot guys!

haha, i know right? we gotta kiccx it again! that dude never texted you back huh?

Mu9enx

no spacer in the rear. why do you ask? the offset wasn't printed onto the wheels itself, but my best guess would be around 35-38?

Mu9enx

i'm actually going to keep the depos, but i'm going to research a little more and upgrade the projectors/ballasts/ignitors. maybe if i'm lucky, i can get a TL projector with ZKW lenses! a BBK is certainly on my wanted list, but i gotta wait it out and find a good deal

i know right? but i like yellow, and well i got inspired by a lotta JDM cars, specially the S13's and S14's. black with actual yellow fogs are to me

Mu9enx

heh, gotta keep the torch up high! UCR FTMFW!

ps, can we ever meet up and take a few pics of tai's and your car? it'd be effin' awesome!

outaurleague
