thanks man! Yea the hood vent really evened out the black/cf on the hood.

 

thats frikken CLEAN. I've been debating on what color I should paint my calipers and I think I just found it. Do you think it would look good on a black w215?

 

It looks really good. Any way to get a pic from up top, so that we can get a good idea? These side shots are making my neck hurt.

 

ill get up on my ladder and take some pics tomorrow or later today tommy. I was about to pull the trigger on getting the wheel stud conversion. That might be my next thing on the list. I was thinking since the Honda s2000 lug fit on our ball seat for our wheels, that I might take a dremel to the top and chop it off so it'll be an open lug nut.

 

Candy Teal would look amazing on a black car, it really pops

 

Interesting - then what? Prime and paint the cut-off ends? Could be a fun project, assuming rust doesn't get a hold of the ends. I've got Project Kics on my CRX, and they're already rusting from where the socket had touched them - didn't know they were so delicate.

 

I'd grind it smooth first then do a blast of the no rust paint.

 

looks good

 

If you're going to that trouble, why not buy the open-ended ones that I got, blast the chrome off, and paint those? That sounds easier to me.

 

I want long ones like the kics or Volks. My wheels have alot of depth.

 

I keep saying this, but 17s never looked so good

 

thanks man! I dont think I'll ever sell these wheels, may just get a second set for the winter.

 

whoa..

that thing looks mean. major props to you for going ahead and doing something like this. i know i couldnt but it came out great.

and +1 wheels look great too.

 

Phi!!!! Wow man, I'm just seeing this. Congrats man it looks soooooo sick!!!! Major props for going completely custom. It looks soo bad ***!!! You have great skills.

 

Thanks sb. and Karo. Its all about risk and evolving the game right? Lol about to pop the hood up and get to cutting up the engine cover for the intake.

Painted the rivets black chrome last night. Ill take my dslr with me, forgot I need more cutting blades for my dremel. Should have some good morning shots right now.

 

Aren't they ball seats, though?

 

yeah they're ball seats... maybe I can ask a company to make some for me lol I want some like the Project Kics with the titanium look.

 

ok off to Lowes and to take more pics... I'll take some overhead shot for your tommy. Do you want it from the front or do you want me to do it from like my sun roof lol

 

did a little driving around... took some pics.

I need to go back to this church and take more pics.





Behind some buildings

 

can we see a up close of your wheeels, are they the 3 piece amgs like on my w126

 

I have to say it does look unique and good! done with taste! It hasnt been hooked up yet right? or did i miss that?

 

Theyre OZ/AMG Aeros 3 piece like yours took a while for me to source them but I finally did. running 17x8.5 +20 front and 17x9.5 +25 in the rear

 

not hooked up yet. I'm letting my engine cool so i can do the mock up on everything. I've gotten too many burn marks on my arm from working on a hot engine lol

 

If you could, please either hang glide in or parachute off a building, so that we can get true pics from right above the hood.

As in the past, if you track down a good open-ended ball seat lugnut, let me know. I'm dying for something more interesting than what I have, short of doing custom work, which scares me, since these do see snowy winters and I don't want to have to deal with rust on them.

 

haha... forgot to get my ladder out... I'll do it when I go out to the garage to get the engine cover off...
