Mu9enx's Pride & Joy PT. II

well, somehow my old thread got merged with some other thread, which is a waste as i spent so much time on it, so i've got no choice but to start over.

here are some fresh pics of the car after it was repaired, along with a few new mods.

puddle lights:


custom brabus-esque style grille:


euro-impact strips:


///AMG replica side skirts (very, very good quality. it fits perfect and is made of plastic):


*** shot with an A4:


did a few misc stuff, like repainting my towhook cover and my 3rd brake light. other than that, i think that is about it. i'll try to look for my old thread again and merge the pics, but if the mods can help me out it'd be cash man.

thanks guys!

it's a neverending work in progress. the plate was just for **** and giggles; my friend dared me to do it for $100 + him paying all the fees and ****. i was like why not lol. (he has a e36 btw)

roland, the puddles were from autolumination, and i had the help of justin (chutoyy). he fixed everything! <3

thanks coupecrazy, and likewise, your coupe is one of my favorites, lolol. the city lights are blue SMD LED's from ebay :P

the grille was custom work, stock oem grille, and cutting out the middle vertical slat, then bondo-ing. it turned out great in my opinion,

Thats exactly what I did to the grill on my SS, but I cut out the vertical slats on the sides and left one in the middle, which actually made it turn out like a stock MB grill (which wasn't my intention when I did it a few years back, but its cool as hell now to have them parked next to eachother.)

Your tag is hysterical! I laughed.

And you have me thinking about a CF lip now... thanks. haha

Yeah, your C-Class, especially the rear is ridiculous! Everyone puts such small exhaust pipes on it, I would put something massive. I had dual 4" exhaust on the A4 and it looked amazing. The stock small ish was just ghey. I think that's what attracts me to your C-Class. It's done the way I'd do mine. :_

And yeah, I<3Akademiks

Fits nicely next to my Lot 29, Coogi, LRG, Sean John, 5ive Jungle and Ecko. I'm surprised anyone on this board knows what Akademiks is lol Guess most people are a little too old. No pun intended.
