Introducing my buddy's ride who doesn't post that often...56k FTL
here's my friend's car (Taibao on the forum). he doesn't post often since he usually just ask me to do it, but here's his car as of now. some of you may have seen it before.

2002 C240
mods: Brabus full kit, Brabus muffler, Brabus shift knob, Brabus pedals, Brabus badging, Brabus puddle lights (yes it's the 5 LED authentic ones), AMG trunk spoiler, Lorinser roof spoiler, gloss black roof, Erebuni CF hood (fits very good for those that wondered), OZ racing Ultraleggera 18x8 w/ 225 front 235 rear, H&R cupkit, custom camber arm, smoke tail light, 30% or darker tint (forgot), Pioneer DVD player with ipod input, patterned aluminum interior trim, digital climate control, 17" spare mod, C32/55 AMG front brakes, ...i dunno what else i'm missing...lol

C230 coupe, nothing special :)
His car is cool, but it would look better with lighter rims, I like those OZ but maybe in gunmetal or silver.

It's tricky figuring out what the hell to do with a CF hood - I remember sitting on it for a month before turning it to the dark side.

Not a huge fan of the black / silver theme, however, I think his car pulls it off pretty well. I don't think the rims would look good in gunmetal because everything else is black to match, but if it was all silver then gunmetal would be sick. VERY nice mod list dude, keep it up.
