Are these pics really from January 2006?

Looks like you spent a good deal of money, but the surround on the h/u doesn't look flush, and the plastic looks really odd. I'd think about a custom aluminum or cf surround instead; it looks really odd, imho, and a little more $$ would help out. As always, as long as you're happy, that's the important thing.

I do love the wheels.

Aside from the headrest monitors, I love everything. can you still use the steering wheel controls?

I'd kill for those wheels. Due to $$$ (or lack of it I should say) I'll have to settle for something far less attractive then those... think "Mandrus Millenniums".

Good, clean work for sure, but why would you put headrest monitors in a C Class? Do you give rides to supermodels, or just toddlers in safety seats?

I like having a sedan myself and I'll give rides to people, but the back of a C230 is definitely not a place I would like to be for an extended period of time.

The wheels are great, now you just need a little drop.

How's the Alpine navi treating you?
