LuxuryC240

Hey guys, Just thought I'd start my own thread with every thing I've done so far. I havent done anything major, just a lot of cosmetic stuff, which is all I can really afford at the moment, and I add things at much slower rate. With my own thread, I can ask any questions I have relating to my car. I have to say that I enjoy this car already more than any other car I've had, and of course like all of us, anything we do to our cars we take great pride in... comments welcome...

This last pic, which is my sig pic, shows the tint, which is actually a little less than 35%, pretty well...


More pics to come when I make some more money

kevblah

Yes! This LuxuryC240 is like my twin, we have like almost the same mods done. Pics look great, your tint looks a LOT darker than mine and mine is 35%, what gives? LOL

XenonBenz

Very nice!

When do you plan on getting some wheels?

LuxuryC240

I'm not sure what the cause of this was...I don't know if it has something to do with the factory tint or what, but they told me it ended up coming out less than 35%, however I don't think its as dark as 30%...they didnt tell me...happy as it is, and I still need to get those streaks fixed Just need some extra time...


And Just in case anyone wants to make any comments, my goal with my car is to keep the luxury look of it, as opposed to going with a sporty look.

LuxuryC240

AHA man I want wheels right now...its just that my job is not sufficient enough to allow me to do so Maybe if I just hit a jackpot when I go to foxwoods for an overnight next weekend

kevblah

Yeah I felt the same way about Luxury, but after some thinking, not doing anything to it would keep it luxury, because it's a Benz. I think just buy having a Benz and not a BMW, we're already one step ahead of luxury, so im just gonna mod it the way i like it without labelling it either, it only limits what we can do.

kevblah

LOL! I know exactly where this pic was taken, I hope you locked your car before going across the street to take pics because it's Lynn and you could've gotten jacked!!! lol jp

miteclspdr

very nice, i like the blacklight LEDS on the inside

LuxuryC240

HAHA yeah that incredibly beautiful picture is misleading....I certainly did lock my car, everyone was freaking looking at me, and you know how many tries it took me to get that???? I had about 12 pics of cars driving by smack in the middle of my picture....theres just not too many good places to take pics around here....can't wait to go my place in NH, hopefully I can get some good clear ones up there soon...

Thanks....credit to advans who did it first

LuxuryC240

Here is another pic...this one shows my all white front blinker setup...my hazard lights on...these pics are with no flash...they're just extremely bright, which is why I can't get good pics

kevblah

haha I was gonna say, there arent any red lights on that road...so it must have taken forever!!!

AND i bet it took forever to get a shot of the hazards on too..lol

MJ50

next mod: 6MP digital camera!

B189s

Your headlights and fogs look really2 BRIGHT .I thought you had HIDs for both.

Any problems with the LED tails so far?

KIRA

Nooo I Hate You!! I Hate You! I Want All These Mod!! :x :x :x :x :x

LuxuryC240

Actually the hazards were on the first try

I do have a 6MP camera, I have the Olympus FE-170....I just need to learn how to use it Shoulda done that before I ever started taking pics of the car..

Are you saying too bright or just really bright?? Yes the PIAA Ex Plus look really good...I think the picture might make it look a little better than it does, Although I've never really looked at my headlights from further away, very happy with them, which is why I'm not in such a rush for HID, although I do want them eventually. No problems with the LED tails...actually the ones that are installed right now are broken. There are 2 screws that broke off from the assembly however I mcguyvered that shiet with gorilla glue, and I just bought a second pair for backup..


Thanks

kevblah

LOL

rlee02135

lookin good!

LuxuryC240

Thanks buddy, I'm trying! haha

kevblah

Met up with LuxuryC240 today, got to check out his ride. I love the chrome door handle shells, as much as everyone says they're tacky or w/e, they look amazing on silver.

Ryanr317

Your PIAA H7's look better in the stock housing than in my DEPOs.

BlackLiquorish8

tasteful mods your car is comin along nicely i'm doin wheels next u should also

LuxuryC240

Yes, after meeting up wit Kev for some Starbucks...I'd like to definitely get the 2005 grille and clear fogs...

Basically here is my wish list, however it will take a long time for me to fulfill because I'm broke:

Facelift Grille
Clear Fogs
Roof Spoiler
Wheels
Z1 or Z2
Speakers, Subs, and, Amp

I'm coming along slowly, and I'm surprised everyone has given me decent comments...

Thanks! I wish I could do wheels right now, its just not possible, once I get my credit card paid off or get some money elsewhere, I'll be all set..

Thanks! I never thought they'd look as good as they do, however I'm not complaining...

B189s

Put HID in the housings

LuxuryC240

Want to....just need to save up!! By looking at other pics, it seems the HIDs in frosted looks pretty good...

I was tellin Kev today, I'm not happy with my non-bose stereo system...I was showing him how the volume doesnt go any higher after a certain point...and I've noticed that since I've gotten the car in Jan. I've had to lower the bass every month or so, cuz the sound is starting to get worse...I like to blast it so everyone sees me or rather hear me.. lol

LuxuryC240

Hey guys, just got the Jlevi puddle lamp system, and hopefully will get a nice day soon to get them on. I've read all the threads regarding these, including the gazillion page one on the e46 forum, any other recommendations on installing these before I go ahead? Also, anyone know the distance between each light on the real brabus puddle lights? Thanks.

Also just put the 05 grille on thanks to Kev and Rlee. Pics to come soon...
