I like that dual exhaust set up
Thanks maeclass! ive seen 225 in the front and 255 in the rear, i actually like the stretch that it gives. Ive been thinking about going 255 in the rear, but they don't make that size for the Falken FK452's. I might have to change over to Toyo T1R's when its time...

I love your wheels and exhaust in particular, What a clean job for the exhaust! Did the shop actually paint your muffler and pipe?

I noticed you have a CL grille on the car now, selling your stock grille by any chance?
Thanks Nibo!! the shop painted all the piping and the muffler black with the high heat resistant paint.

sorry man, not selling the stock grille, ill probably be putting it back on in a couple weeks for a little while...

I decided to get an H&R 10mm hubcentric spacer for my front wheels. I had some extra space up front, so i wanted to push the wheels out a little bit. For some reason the the spacer didnt fit correctly, so Status had to shave the outside of the hub part down a little bit in order for the wheel to fit right. Now its perfect, the front wheel is flush.


Im thinking of putting a 5mm spacer in the rear, to push those wheels out a little bit. If i do this ill definitely have to do some fender rolling, still deciding on this one...

Chapter 7. Painted Brake Calipers

HMS had a group buy on painting brake calipers. I decided to do it last weekend. I wasn't sure what color to do. It was between Red, White or Blue. I decided to go with white. Thought it would be a little more subtle. Since our front stock brakes are Brembo's i went ahead and had them put on the Brembo decal instead of the MB one...
Front

Rear

White Brake Calipers


I like it, but its not too noticeable, i'm thinking about redoing in red...

Its been about 4 months since i got the wheels and lowered the car. Today i finally got my wheel alignment. I had it done at Ranchill Motorsports in Bellflower. http://www.ranchillmotorsports.com/ but before i did the wheel alignment i asked them to lower it about 1/4 inch. I wanted the gap to be the same all the way around. Rachill is having a special on wheel alignments for $49.95 which is a great deal. The special was supposed to end at the end of Sept. but they said they might be extending that. They do excellent work here, the guys are really cool, ask for Ro...

after lowering more and the wheel alignment, i washed the car and took a few more pics...

Typically I'm not a fan of debadging, but you should take off the small badges that are just behind the front wheels, they probably say "Sport" or something...

Lookin awesome man, some tasteful mods... how about interior now?

I see. Nicely done. Im thinking about the same setup as having the muffler in the middle by the cat thus removing my remus exhuast and just running straight pipes with dual tips.

Car looks clean!

There ya go Tommy!!
Nice mods altogether, love 'em all.

You need a roof spoiler to complete the rear look

I have an authentic Lorinser roof spoiler if you're ever interested.

Thanks!! i was thinking about debadging, but not sure of it, i kinda like the badges on there, but might do it for that cleaner look... I dont think im gonna do too much to the interior, a new head unit soon and maybe cf trim, but thats about it....

i love the white grill and the lip. i'm considering doing that to my C230 K coupe as well. Was it a simple install? for the lip and the grill? or did you need an autobody tech to do that?
