Rollnnn, is this grill a custom one or is it the ED grill? I remember you knew a guy who makes CF products.

I bet these new pics of your car look ridiculously bomb, Rollnnnnn.
But I can't even see them through China's great wall of fire.

I'll give a thumbs up for now.

ROLLNNN

Thanks Karo, where you been man?? youve been gone so long, that you forgot i vinyled my roof a few months ago..

ROLLNNN

Thanks guys, i really appreciate it!!!

ROLLNNN

Thanks!

Its not the ED grill, its made in Taiwan, they are selling it on ebay now. I think they are selling it for $240 plus shipping. Let me know if anyone is interested in it and i can see if i can get you a discount..

Fitment is pretty good, its not 100% cf, its cf and plastic(i think its plastic) seems pretty strong. It comes with the holes drilled for the screws on the top part of the grill, but no holes on the sides.

the guy who does the cf stuff hasn't done my grill yet, i think im still gonna do it, but right now he's working a few other things..

maverik259

did you have to drill some holes in the sides then or just leave it alone?

maverik259

and got it back from the paint shop a few days ago (looks clean again) and put on the eibach sway on the rear. Such a difference. Can't wait to do the front next!

ROLLNNN

I have it installed with just the top screws in place. the sides stick out a little bit, so i think im going to screw the sides in this weekend.

ROLLNNN

nice, i still have to install my sway bars, been laggin on it...

Ya man, this new job is crazy. They work me like a dog but it's fun stuff so it's all good. Especially with this economy this job is a dream come true job. We should setup a meet or something. I haven't seen you or the other MB cats for a long time.

Your car looks sick..keep up the good work. You definitely have good taste in modding cars.

What's next the CF interior you were inquiring about at the Cerritos meet?

maverik259

i looked for that grille all over ebay and no luck. Do you remember the vendor?

ROLLNNN

he goes by carbonfounder, im pretty sure he is selling them on ebay now.

edit:

here ya go: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MERCE...Q5fCarQ5fParts

ROLLNNN

yeah man definitely good to have a job in this economy...

im down for a meet, let me know when and where..

not sure whats next, the cf guy is making me a cf double din radio kit, i should have that in a month or so, but no interior trim as of now. I think i am also gonna have him do a cf hood vent. I wanna work on my stance too, i just did more fender trimming, i was sick of the rub, now no more rubbing on bumps or dips.. finally! Im either going to push my wheels out more or get bigger lips, still deciding on that one...

what about you, what are you doing next?

maverik259

haha sweet thanks...ya i searched all night for the right concoxion to type into the search and no luck.

Looks and sounds outstanding! I have an '06 C350 and want to do the exhaust you got... did you have to replace the rear bumper or did AAA cut to fit the new tip?

XsuperbeeX

the cut to fit the new tip

ROLLNNN

Thanks. Ed is correct, AAA cut out the passenger side.

Finally added a little bass. been wanting to do some kind of sub enclosure for awhile now. Was about to do a full Rockford Fosgate system and last minute was talked in to JL. Didnt want to be bumpin like my high school days, just wanted to add some bass for a little better sound.

I still wanted to use my trunk, so had to be small. was thinking about stealth box, but then decided might as well be able to show it off a little. Was gonna do 1 12" but decided on 2 10's last minute. Went with 2 JL10w3 and JL XD600/1 for the amp.

The Amp is hidden and the box looks stock:





Yeah i know, i need to vacuum my trunk!

I was going to add the components up front with another amp next month,but it actually sounds good enough for me, for now....

XsuperbeeX

looks good roland!! cant wait till HIN too see it
