Different strokes for different folks, however I think it could look a lot better if you dropped the front even with the rear..

That's it? Not even by a longshot is that the ugliest C Class mod job. Sit down K-Fed...its plenty gayed out, but its hardly a contender. I'd say cheesy...ghetto wanna be.

I don't think it is the worst I have ever seen. Poor taste, no question. But not the worst. You need a drop. Likely you know this.

As far as votes...If a room full of idiots votes you the smartest, does that make you an idiot or smart?

MB is a different look. Something ingrained that goes with the car. It is understood. Some go against the grain. Good for them, and good riddance. When I pass you, I hope the bling doesn't blind me.

There are some other ahhem idiot...ahem bling artists like you that you can find company with.

Dude, you need to step away from your computer, go drive your Benz, AND LET IT GO! If you are going to be a member on forums/message boards, you need to develop a thick skin.

Ok, with that said, I don't think you have a "disgustingly chrome w203". Yes, the chrome is overdone for MY tastes, but if YOU like it that is all that matters. I personally like the wheels, but agree with others, they would look better with a drop. If you mod your car to please others on the net and not yourself, that is your underlying problem.

I don't see any problem with this car. It looks like every other C240 misbadged as AMG we see here. More tastefully done than some, even. (At least it's chrome on Silver, instead of chrome on Maroon with black CF hood.)

...or is this just some ploy to gather more hits (votes?) on his ride at Car Domain? UM, yea, I think that's it...

Wow you got me... It was a ploy to drive hits... not really but it turned out that way.. before posting the link here i was stuck at 1,8xx

as far as the badges, I have removed them all. See, I wanted to get a good group opinion on my vehicle, as I am about to mod it beyond where it lies now. The pics on the site are out dated, I guess I should take some new ones, and maybe arrange the pics so the viewers know they are looking at the car in stages, rather than what it is now.

I've ordered the Non Bi-xenon clear headlights from ebay, and the clear fog's too....

As far as lowering, I just can't do it. Not where I live, I love my car too much to see it get hurt everytime I want to pull into a store. I'm not one of those that wants a look and will sacrafice the vehicle for it. My tires barely rub as it is, only if I turn wayy to far or hit a bump/hill (thats what i deal with AKA SINK HOLES!)

The criticism part, I enjoy it. I'm a designer, so I deal with it everyday. Ever worked 12 hrs a day for three months, and have an old guy tell you that your building sucks? Thats criticism. What I get here is minor compared to my career. I'll admit, you do need thick skin lol.

I do have some performance upgrades in the making, such as evo sport pullies.. I'm waiting on information for the question " After removing the power steering pulley, how do you reinstall it?"


The pulley is press-fit, I'm not sure I can replicate the pressure needed to re"press-fit"

I live in Florida too. I had my Acura lowered and never had a problem. There are tons of 04.5+ W203SS's with the stock lowered suspension running around here with no problems as well. I know you have 19s, but a lot of the members here have them too and don't experience any problems.
