Add some more stuff in there bro, go to a friend who works at a jewelry shop and get a fake receipt for a gold chain or something and add that on there too. Maybe even a Rolex?
Make the receipt around the time frame and say it was your buddies Bday and you had the gift in the car and you were going to surprise him and say instead we got surprised cause someone came up on the Rolex.

At least you will get something more out of it. Opportunity comes knocking once man.

If any moderators are looking at my post I am only Joking.

Haha, mine only looks a little more modded. But I'm pretty sure it was the Volks that were in the back seat. Damn, I'm still in love with your car :drool:

I just saw that and OMG, that would be the best **** ever! But it would have to be in a certain range to start recording right? Does it send it to a computer, and does it also make a backup video in the car? Damn, that's freakin' awesome!

I have the receipts for everything including tires, so hopefully I can get some money out of it. Does anyone know if I would have to pay a deductible?

Keven, they weren't on my car, LOL.
LOL, i Know.. i mean the ones that are on already..I get scared all the time when I leave my car parked..but yea sucks good luck man..

Nope, no update. Been scanning CL for 4-5 different counties everyday, and eBay also.

Been kinda reluctant to go through insurance.. still haven't found out if this would affect my insurance premium.. and a bi-annual payment of $4000 isn't making it any better..

Talking Found my old thread in the freakin' LED thread.. LOL

Finally found my OLD thread, again. Going to merge all the pictures, etc etc.

01' C320, my first real car and my baby. also my first time being interested in German automobiles, never really moved away from JDM.

Phase I:

first mod ever: flat hood badge, followed by Depos [yes i know, but it works fine for me] headlights took forever to put on also had a Phillips HID kit with 4300k bulbs


DIY painted side markers


titanium tinted at California Tint
, $130, without moleskin though 35% up front and 15% rear


DIY debadge


so happy for now



at this point, my front bumper is all messed up because some dumbass that i was behind ran over a busted tire in the freeway, shooting it back at me. going around 80mph and really didn't even see it coming. knocked out my right foglight and my HID ballast, broke my phillips' hid bulb, and busted up my impact strip, sidemarker light plus most of my right side wiring. temp sensor got messed up also, reads 185 F.

Phase II: ///AMG exterior conversion [sorta]

always wanted to update my bumpers to ///AMG spec, finally able to figure out everything, as a lotta people know from my constant questions in the forum.

got the front and rear bumpers done, along with the ///AMG mesh grilles and foglights with yellow nokya bulbs. [the fogs don't work until i can get a new set of the entire wiring systems] only got a few night pics so far [don't have a camera]

+ got used Techone hid kit from yeuchau + blue city bulbs









i'm 18 going to UCR, so my mods are limited to the amount of money/financial aid i have. i know its dumb, but i've always wanted to mod my first car, making it personal ya know. you guys are a inspiration for me and when the next FA comes, i'll have my rims and drop. [H&R springs + Koni shocks are sitting in my cousin's garage as of now.]

bonus pic of my first first toy, my 94' toyota truck, [American Racing rims] and my new toy while camping out at BestBuy on Black Friday in Sacramento:



PS, anyone know where i can get a ///AMG rear bumper tow hook cover? seems that i can't use my old one

-guess the only negative is that i don't get any FA at all this quarter, plus i owe UCR 3g's for housing. wtf? guess no wheels for me anytime soon, but i hope to get a drop by or after Chinese New Years

also got a carwash, but i doubt it's clean anymore.

Before Wash













After Wash















had to lighten up this pic, made my car look dirty, but it's clean, i swear!

problem is, is that the fog film they sent me wasn't the right one.. it was probably for the regular sedans, and not the AMG ones.
also did my headlights, didn't turn out as good as i hope for. hopefully the instructions were right and that the film will become clear with some time. and as my luck would have it, it started to rain lightly..









i know it's dirty.. but the weather has been going from sunny to gloomy within days, no use in washing it.

- put on MJ's K&N air filters, along with the kevlar intake tubes
- finally put on examinas' CL grille. [see you in CL hell! ]
- fixed all curb rashes and the bend on my wheels at TWS
- black brabus center caps [thanks cleve! ]
- put on the Euroteck CF lip
- dropped my car with H&R sport springs [1/2 a coil cut up front], along with Koni yellow shocks [thanks lance ]
- got my AUTHENTIC eisenmann slapped on [but no pics as it was done a few days ago] sounds so heavenly and growly
- drove home somewhat intoxicated, and scratched my front bumper [very irresponsible of me, i know ]







and a bonus shot of my old 2-hanging-penises muffler, along with my cousin's new c300.
