I know you're gonna ask, so I wrote it down... 235x35-19s... Same on the rears, as I recall... No Fear in showing standard amber corners (albeit slightly smoked)...

I like the tails...the paint job isn't too bad either...not mild, but not vinyl rice either.

I dont think its that bad. It looks like the one thats gonna be on speedvision. They even had a similar wing. And i do like the C32 beakes on the front. If it was just for the track its not to bad. But that Xbox would have to go.:p

i think the paint job is pretty cool. looks like a car from the fast and the furious really. the wing however has to go, especially because it looks like it was put on the wrong way!!!!!!

eh- I am defining myself as the anti-bling but it isn't too bad.

I think the wing would have to be a little lower at least, and there are much nicer shapes out there. Since this is for looks.

The only thing I actually like is the adjustable front splitter. I want one.

I'll take the brakes, the rims/tires, and half the sound system. The exhuast looked good too, the paint was kinda kool looking. It was different but it wasnt too goofy lookin.

I did not expect MBNA to anniliate, make that "rice" their car already to attract the potential second owners of our cars!!!

Not at all surprised... I thought you would like to see this car, so that's why I took the pics and posted them. You're welcome.

Parts of the car I like. Other parts look like crap... Mostly the wing. It belongs anywhere else but on a car... any car. But of course you already knew my opinion on that...

I agree. The car is very subjective. If it was a solid color car, without the wing, it would not be bad at all.

Skid the dwing (dweeb wing) lose the country pumpkin interior, maybe downscale some of bull***** in the back and it would not be to bad.

I like most of it, but the wing makes it look like a shopping cart.

Bob was this an attendee's car or an actual MB display car??? The wing HAS TO GO! and the 'special K' need to be re-done as well....somehow. What did u think of the event overall? I only saw about 10MBs in the lot when i went on last Sunday, and about half of them (including mine) seem modified.
