Finally decided to start my own thread- zcurtis00's child

Hello everybody, I am relatively knew to the forum. I've been looking at stuff on it for a while I was just never very active, but that is about to change. I decided to start my own thread of my car, I wish I would've done that once I got it but I'll go from here. I'll try to find some pictures to show it's journey to where it is now.

I got them from Cory and I think they were around 1500, which is pretty pricey but IMO kleemann is the best.

I wish lol, there were just replicas. Actually I cracked one of them a while ago, which led me to get the kleemanns. But I got it fixed painted them black and am going to put them on for the winter. Ya I got the body kit and had a local body shop paint it and everything. When I got my new headlights I couldnt get it to go back on completely straight (you can kinda tell in the pictures) so I'm going to have them take a look at it sometime, I've just been lazy.

Sad news about the reps Ive always thought a w203 with a drop would look awesome in 19" CLS63 5 spoke wheels. The rear offset of ET 25 would require some fender rolling, but itd look great with some fat tires!

I like the want front bumper you had. If your car was 744, id make an offer on your stock bumper

Looks good. keep it up!

Thanks, and I'll keep doing what I can I'm running out of ideas and money lol

I'm hoping it'll be alright when I put them back on, I got what would be the front wheels all over since my car is all wheel drive.

Honestly I'd ship it out to you for free if you wanted it, but the day I went to get a quote on the AMG kit i let my girlfriend drive....

and she was backing out of a drive way, cut the wheel all the way and hit a lampost. So the bumper got ripped off and I would've needed a new one anyways lol.

Your car looks beautiful! Love the wheels. What company did you do for the HIDs? And how much, if you don't mind me asking?

I got them from myhotmercedes.com, I just went for the whole new headlight assembly. Those didn't come with the signal bulb or the little yellowy bulb, and you get get an HID kit for the high beams for another 100 I think. Here's the link for them.

Your car looks good!

Those DEPO/EEyes are kind of pricey tho. EBAY sells them for alot less without/with HID kit and HID kit is really cheap these days.

Clean! The AMG bumpers always make our pre-facelift cars so much more better.
