nice ride... got a list of your mods?

Not much of a fan of the tail lights, just doesnt look right on the white MB imo...

Also if you haven't I'd invest in a camber kit, it may look like you dont need one but you rears are going to wear pretty quick with it lowered.

Not you, I'm talking about the other Mike. He likes racks and you like coat hangers.

I like the tail lights. I don't think that I want to know what's going on with the zebraskin on the inside, though.

Any plans for new rims? If money allows, a white car needs good rims to make it stand out a little more. Right now, it doesn't.

Then it should be on the outside. If a lion gets in his/her car, it's a little too late for camouflage.

well he/she got the pop to stand out from the rest from the interior.

For wheels they should do white in front and black in the rear to keep the zebra theme going.

You guys sure can make the crowd laugh . . . But you know what makes me laugh, is I am a girl, and I do all my own work to my car, and that is something most of you guys don’t/can't even do yourself rather you got to pay someone to do it for you, or better yet bring it to your MB dealer.

Thanks for the heads up on the camber kit for the rear.
I also need some spacers for the front to achieve the ride height I am looking for.

Yes, there are still a number of plans for this car. Wheels are on top of the list.

The front spacers wont adjust the ride height. If your wanting the front to be lower than the rear, you can get thicker rear spring pads to lift the rear up a cm or two. If you want the front lower, you're best bet would be coilovers.

First off I do have coilovers!
I know spacers alone won't make my car lower, but spacer will help me lower my perches up front and keep my tire from rubbing on the spring.

Fixed.

That wasn't attitude I was just stating that I had Coilovers since you missed that in my reply of current mods above.
