yeah that diff looks real nice man, nicely done

phister

Yeah I like it simple... I like clean lines and letting it all flow together thats why I didnt go the cf diffuser route. You can always do it and if you dont like buy the diffuser lol.

Looks sharp! I think it would look even better if you blacked out the middle part of your front grill (I'm loving that look!)

phister

I was thinking modding an OEM grill and removing the vertical bar but leaving it chrome or do a black chrome. Duplicolor has a black chrome kit that you can make as dark as you want on chrome pieces. Might pick it up after I get my haircut.

That's what I did.. except I did a matte black to match my wheels (polished lip, matte finish).

Phi if you're thinkin about doing it here's a pic of what mine looks like.


I think black chrome would look sick... I will have to say your car looks super clean with it just silver though. But definitely take off the vertical bar. It would look great!

phister

Ill see how it looks in black chrome. Guess ill buy a spare grill so I can cut it up.

phister

Might remove the chrome molding on the impact strips and do them the same.

C230 Mulac

i think if you did that it would match up nicely with the grill

phister

I keep brain storming what to do next for my car and I've decided to invest in another OEM grill remove the vertical bar and paint it black chrome and do the chrome impact strips accents the same, and I just thought about this but Im going to do the headlight housing the same too when I do my retrofit. Itll add a slightly different touch to the over all look of the car I think.

Side note, Cale, awesome as always, gave me the greatest idea! I'm going to use the 100 MB gift certificate to get the 272.969 single runner manifold, so all I'll have to look for now is the 550 tb. Things are looking on the up and up for the summer.I'll probably have to get a retune from Jerry after it.

mskembo

Sounds really tasty Phi, using the MB gift certs toward the manifold is definitely FTW! What is the total cost of that manifold?

phister

heres my dirty car after I got the back dropped a little more. I know it needs to be washed but we had a tornado warning here so it wasnt a good time lol

phister

Goodies just came in!

Midnight Koop

forgetting the function for the car... first thing i thought of was...

carbon fiber urinal?!

TruTaing

Woah - Is that an intake??

W203E35

lool

Looks good Phi. When are you going to install it?

BigBodyBenzC240

Cant wait to see the CF scoop installed!

phister

Its a naca duct for my custom hood ducts I'm going to do for my intake I'm building

I'm building the filter box right now so hopefully in a few weeks or by the summer at the lastest

Yeah I did a little measuring, deciding on where at on the hood I want it. I might do it kind of mid to higher part of the hood.

phister

ok to update.... just got my AEM dryflow filters in... got pretty big ones, 9"x4". Going to have to use fiberglass and fab up the boxes, aluminum wasnt cutting it for me. Going to use the boxex they came in as a lay out on how I want to do the box. So I'm going to do that tomorrow morning and while I wait for it to cure I'm going to black chrome my grill finally and hopefully have my sub system fitted to the way I like so I can finally cover it and install it. Hopefully I'll knock 2 out of the 3.

PICS of the filters!!!
