awesome write up nick! going to have to do that really soon!

 

autolumination.com
scroll down until **NEW High Powered 9 Led SMT Festoon
They are $9.99 each

If you only install the license plate light, they will give you an error and will flicker. But if you attach the other bulbs you'll be fine. You can buy the tail light bulbs at autozone for $16


Yes, the 4matics have the calipers mounted on the leading edge of the rotor. Looks a bit strange on an MB but if you look at other makes, a lot of them are in the same spot. Not 100% sure why, but I think it deals with cooling.

Thank man.

 

oh more Lights mods

 

This is the hotest benz I've seen.

Nick. If I get puddle lights or something similar. I need to ask u how to wire it!

 

Thank you.

Sure thing Gary.

 

Sneak peek of my next mod.

 

Nice seats, custom or is it the leather dye? Also, for the High Powered 9 Led SMT Festoon, is it 39mm or the 44mm..
Thanks

 

Thanks. Its the leatherique dye.

The festoon bulbs are 39mm.

 

Lookin good Nick! Those seats are gonna look sweet man!!

 

Thanks Jon.

 

rear seats.

Better pics when everything is done and installed.

 

Nick your seats are coming out nice man congrats.

 

Looking good!

 

Thanks guys.

Now I am torn between doing a black suede headliner or dark gray.

I can get the black alcantara for fairly cheap, which is causing me to lean toward that direction

 

black alcantara ftw!

 

Some better pics of the seats.





I wasn't sure what to do with the doors. I know I didn't want to dye the leather black, so I painstakingly dyed the threads in the center.



I am probably going to remove the CF vinyl and leave the wood the way it was (piano black) and dye the lower portion of the door.

Option 1


Option 2


Option 3


I am leaning toward option 3

 

option 3 is the best

 

option 3 would be nice.

 

Agreed.

Going to buy an air brush and dye it tomorrow, or Saturday.

 

option 3 ftw, it's nice and contrasty!

 

not so sure about doing the storage part of the door. it's the same material as the roof liner. imo you should suede it out instead because paint that type of material is pretty easy to get F-ed up.

 

+1 suede would be so nice

 

That was the original idea. I have a yard of black ultra suede that I bought for that reason. But wrapping it might be a bit hard since you can not remove that section. Its part of the door. It might still be doable, I'll have to take a closer look.

As for painting it, I would use an airbrush and the leather dye. The leather dye is water based so once it is applied the water will evaporate and will leave the dye embedded into the fabric. Its holding up pretty well on the leather, so it should be fine on an area that doesn't get a lot of abuse.

 

lookin good nick lookin gooooooood!
