Hey, to be honest with you it doesn't look weird at all. When looking at it in person just has the apparence that the vehicle is lowered, stock side skirts don't throw it off. I get a ton of compliments on the lip, I do recommend getting it, it adds great character to the look of the vehicle. I'm saving up to get side skirts and rear bumper next but I might seek a different style rear bumper than the AMG one. I will take a few other shots side shots (closer to the front) and kind of a corner shot (from the front) without any photo editing for you.

wasn't my preferred route to go but I was really dissapointed with the initial drop and cutting the springs was a quick and easy fix, could probably have cut a 1/4 ring more off of there but I didn't want to risk rubbing and reduced driveability, after all it is the kiddy-cruiser.

to Went to Tail of the Dragon a couple of weeks ago. For those of you unfamiliar with this, it's route 129 near Bryson City, NC that runs through the Great Smoky Mountains into Tennessee. It's something like 318 curves in 11 miles, awesome road to drive on. Went with some friends, had a '05 Corvette, BMW 325 Ci, Suzuki GSX-R sport bike, and a Honda cruiser bike. People take pictures at some of the turns and then post them online and you can purchase them. I had to get a couple, lol

haha, yea it's totally worth the 9 hours it took to get to our cabin from DC. And not just that road, but the roads leading up to Deal's Gap were sick too. We went riding on that Saturday for 6-7 hours. Beautiful scenery too!

Where are you located?

Grabbed the DSLR so taking a few more shots here and there. With the Granite Grey Metallic, the vehicle has a different colour in many different angles.

Looks like it's about time for your car to get a little bit of a drop

Nice pic!

Ya I was looking into it. But I got quoted over $700 for install so I'm going to hold off for a bit. Might be getting a W204, so it might be a waste of money to do any more mods to my humble C240.

Take it somere else. Shouldn't be charged more than $300 for a suspension install.

It's the stock sport suspension but with 4 people in it and I'm taking that curve literally as fast as possible. I squealed a lot of tires that day, lol
