C230 Sport Coup + 2006 W164 ML350 + 99 Ford Escort (What the heck, it gets 38 mpg!)
Looking good.
Now it's time for CO's, Sway's and an ASP pulley.
Do it in that order, the pulley increases low end torque dramatically.
And update your sig pic. Your car looks better than that!

yeah, that will be the next major mod after the exhaust is done. might do some other small ones while saving for the s-tech coils.
Tonight i will install the mole skin and amg pins. DIY: replaced the screen in the cluster, i will also be do led mods, slowy but surely. Might get hood repainted next week with the dent removal.

the grill looks great... the only hesitation i have is with the top slat (the one built into the hood). it looks like a chrome strip fell off.
fitment of the grill looks great though.
tails look great too. did you tint them yourself?

the chrome on the grill will be wrapped in vinyl later along with the top bar from the hood, which is painted flat black.
The tint was done by a friend's shop. The hatch third brake and plastic window was tinted as well
