Return of the Star

Well here it is, after 5 months she's finally home. Basically everything up to the doors were replaced. 2005 halogen headlights were put in and the door handles were painted to match the body color. The entire car is now under a new coat of Brilliant Silver.

Future plans consists of 2005 taillights, Brabus front and rear lip, HID's, euro impact strips, starless grill and coilovers.

I just picked the car up this afternoon so she's filthy, I'll be sure to snap more pics after her bath and when the weather gets better.
Enjoy!













Here is a comparison between before and after.

I fell asleep behind the wheel. Luckily I missed the bus shelter and the tree but I hit a parked car. This guy moved here from Toronto for about a week, his car was only worth $1000 so I gave him $800 to settle it.

I'm a big fan of Brilliant Silver so I couldn't see myself painting the car another color. She's bone stock right now cuz I'm having a hard time finding parts, I also need some time to recover from the repair bill...

The wheels I have on now are for winter, once summer comes around I'll pick up something a little larger.

Brabus front lip is pretty pricey.. did you ever consider waiting around till early next year for a group by on a CF lip for half the price?

i am currently waiting for the group buy, which i hope happens.

Price is not a factor when I can't even find one... hahaha.

What will the CF lip look like?
