nah it's stock height, too many dips and driveway type parking lot entrances that i decided to stick with the stock ride height for now.

rims are luxe lx3 19" with 35 offset. i heard from ed at hms that luxe makes rims especially for mercedes. so there were no problems whatsoever!

Car looks sick, I like the luxe wheels, I have a set off my w211 that I am trying to sell.

I notice from your pictures that it looks like you live in irvine, all irvine company apartment buildings look the same, haha.

I like your grille too where did you get it from?

If i'm not mistaken, he did it himself. Just cut the center vertical slat, bondo, and paint all but the outside surround black.

EDIT: Goes very well with the car!
