Thanks again guys, the stocks I plan on fixing the curb rash and stuff and painting them silver metallic or like a gunmetal gray color and throwing snow tires on em.. Yes car is pretty low, I gotta remove the tires and see where it rubs its getting annoying I can barely have anyone in the back seat.

A question on your Drop.... You are using H&R Springs... Are the rears cut at all? What Shock setup are you running and Where did you get your #2 rear pads?

Looking at Your Benz has me set on going 18" wheels, no bigger.

Again, Very Nice Setup!!

Looks great man! Did you have to remove the handles to paint? Was it a pain to do?

Hah yeah you deff have to remove the handles to paint unless you wanna do some serious *** masking. I removed mine cuz it broke anyways. It easy just a screw driver to pop em off. Then send prime, paint and clear

Nice ride, looks real clean. Is that a stock front grill I see there? Reason I ask is cuz mine has 4 slats and yours has 3. Caught my eye for some reason.
