I know....but i dont like AMG, RIEGER or Carlson ones...i wish there was the simple ones just lower....i might custom make a set...i have an idea.....
I was also pondering an idea of a cowl induction hood that kind of flows from the front to the top of the trunk... I am going to sketch out an idea and see if that has been done before...i think it would look good

I'M BACK! lol. Its been a bit of a crazy year for me.

But, I'm here to report that the C240 is finally gone. I traded her in last Saturday.

Picked up a 2008 E550 4matic.

lol. We have a thing called snow on the East coast.

E55 AMG exhaust is on it's way, as is smoked corners and Bluetooth puck. I am also going to tint the windows, add a E63 spoiler, and lowering links.

No, no Bix. Who orders an E550 with out bix, really?

It's got a pano roof, voice control, and navi.

C24Owner has a very good point about 4matics - my buddies C240 non-4matic couldn't make it down the freakin street this past winter. Meanwhile I was cruising up and down hills without a hitch

Hehe I hear ya man, it really all comes down to the driver. But in New England winters, it's better to be safe than sorry. I just like the added feel of safety knowing that all my wheels are working.

And don't think I forgot about the invite! I'm still planning on coming up just haven't had much time lately with school, work, g/f, car, family, etc.

I actually just recently figured out that you live pretty much down the street from my g/f (she's in Chelmsford) so it won't be too hard for me to get there!
