My cars life-long photoshoot...
Whats up MB world.
I start this thread with intentions of updating it every so often. See when I bought my mercedes never once did I imagine I would be doing any kind of modding or work on my car period. After joining this forum I look back and realize how wrong I was. Not only have I modded my car, I have gained much more knowdledge here than I ever thought I would.
Well start her stock
When the modding bug first bit me
Only "performance" mod I have to date.. resonator & 2nd cat delete
Then it bit me HARD
.. carbon fiber rampage
Installed the front lip and rear spoiler..
Painted the grille, wheels, installed HID fog lights along with replacing all bulbs with LED's
And here she is up to date. Finally got a new camera, got tired of the cell pics. I have other plans in mind such as a rear CF diffuser and I still have a roof spoiler I havent installed, maybe when I have some time in the holidays I'll put that up..
All criticism is welcome wether constructive or not..

As much as I love the whole black and silver contrasted look, I would have never imagined anyone *painting* carlsson 1/16s black...

thanks love that coupe's paint
Likewise brotha
The euro impacts are really starting to grow on me, anyone feel like working on a photoshop?
We should have a silver benz thread
As far as tints... the decision has been long on my mind, I want them. Is it true my rear defroster will no longer function properly should I have the rear tint removed
Epiphany, spell check? what about tinting both sides of the car and leaving front and rear alone.. I do have the rear shade ....
silver thread member #3 lets do this! Thanks man

euro impacts would look MEAN. and your rear defroster will work just fine.. i have 20% tinted rear windows and rear windshield and my defroster works just fine... had to use it a few days ago actually because its starting to get REALLY cold in jersey.. hows the weather down there man? im gonna be coming down soon to look at condos on Las Olas. cant wait to move back down

Ya the issue is whe the tint is removed. Supposedly the defroster lines on the rear window will peel off .. its starting to get cold down here too though its probably only half as cold as jersey, hurry up and get down here man we need to have a meet
claying and waxing tonight
Depends on who you get to remove it and if they're not a hack. I don't even use my defroster in this car. However, I'm pretty sure I remember the defroster in my old Camaro working just fine after I removed the tint myself (which I'll never do again) and had it redone. I would recommend getting the tint the same on all windows, it looks much better that way.
