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..

C_DirtyTwo

Looks goood!

TruTaing

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

Take some pix in brighter conditions

Got a sound clip of your exhaust by chance?

ps - its about time ya created your own thread :P

May I suggest Euro Impact Strips? I believe that is the missing cherry

Beautiful car

grossmeisterb

Front needs to be lower! Otherwise it looks very good!
But why no real paintjob on those Carlsson rims??

LILBENZ230

The front needs to be lower?! So he can destroy the lip?

Thanks man

Glad you said it, I am in the process of that right now not feeling the black side markers..


Thanks man I am still learning how to use the camera
There always comes a time in a man's life when he must start his own thread
Ill get a sound clip for you soon.

KARO commented on my car? lol thanks brotha I am gonna try the body matched first and depending on results Ill make a decision

Thanks
Like trutaing said, I couldnt commit the crime of ruining carlsson paint, atleast with plasti dip I an go back to original when I want to.

LOL exactly what crossed my mind.. where I live I have trouble as it is

kirax2

hcalvarez

Luke_Geezy

Luke_Geezy

ND2020

Nice car man! Like to see fellow silver benzs

Like everyone else has said, you need some tint!

bdgdl08

Silver's the best!!! lol Love the rims, glad it's just plasi-dip.

97W202

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

Luke_Geezy

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

W203E35

Get some more pics..this car looks sexy!!!

91RS

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.

97W202

I think so too and for $50 from suvneer I think I am gonna order soon !
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

Damn, I am back and forth on this, I am about to pull the trigger and gt it tinted in the next hour or so

97W202

what type of tints are there and which would you recommend??

hcalvarez

rollnnn has those huper optik ones on his thread...i got some 3m's on..no complaints so far..Can i be included in the SILVER thread too...LOL
