So my friend is looking for a car to do a flyer for a car meet in the ft worth/dallas and asked if I wanted my car for it. I not too much into posting my car on places like stanceworks and hellaflush, just on here and mbjunkies really for my fellow MB lovers. he wants a car that hasnt been seen a lot and isnt posted everywhere. I really just do my car for me, thats why I dont join any of my friends clubs like Swang and Bang, even though they have been in a lot of magazine and online pages.
But I told him sure, it'll let me do a photoshoot for free and get some good rolling shots.
I'll post pics whenever the shoot comes up.

Lol I bet you would haha..
Thanks guys for the compliments.
I'm going all out in my interior and going to do my headliner and panels in black suede, no more gray liner and panels. Going to order a roll of suede here in the next week or so and do it all myself. I've done headliners before so it should take a day or two to finish. Also getting rid of my quad tips and ordered a set of 102mm titanium tips from DTM-Spec and just doing duals. I wanted the 119mm ones but they no longer produce them so they offered me their largest they have now. going to quiet the exhaust note with glasspacks after the muffler since my gf gets a little annoyed and I want a quieter cabin anyways.
Have some other things as well in mind for over the summer.

So Brandon from thefittedagency texted me and we're gonna do a shoot next week when i'm off. Hopefully I'll have my suede interior done buy then. Also gonna do a custom rear diffuser for the car something different from the one everyone has. Pics from the shoot won't be up till June our July he says.

I have my shoot this weekend. Have to hurry on installing my suede but had a CEL (P0140), freaking air pump. So after troubleshooting, the pump itself is fine and works when I run a 12v source to it. So its either the relay or solenoid. Sometimes its the 40A fuse by the relay but thats still ok. The relay is know to go out so I'm going to MB to get one tomorrow.
Heres some pics of my new tips on the car, matches my wheel and lugs setup. Gonna be getting my custom diffuser here in the next few weeks.
Also going to be going with different tires, 215/40 front and 245/35 rear. After running the numbers, this will give my front to rear the same radius, height, and sidewall. It'll allow me to go even lower and clear the rubbing of the spring when I go lower in front.
Just a headshot after a wash

Gonna paint roof once my friend repaints the whole car. I'm upset with myself because I did a small curb rash on my rear lip! FML. Gonna call up CCW and order another lip. They sell outer lips for like 200. Was thinking about getting 4" lips and see if I can remove the 5mm spacer in the rear and see if I can fit 11" in the rear since I pulled the rears so much.
