Few more mod's... (pics)
So after putting it off for a while, I decided to go ahead and fix my rims. I had minor curb damage on all 4 rims.
While I was at it, I went ahead and had the lips polished. Really like how it turned out. The contrast of the brushed and polish makes it really stand out now. At the same time, went ahead and smoked my rear lights, had some front fender work done and lowered it about 1/4" more or so. Overall, I'm happy with the end result.![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Next mod, I wanna change my muffler to something different and preferrably double tip. The oval tip just looks hideous. Any suggestions on what's out there and would look/sound descent for my car?![drive](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/driving.gif)

Did you just drop your H&R's to the bottom or did you do something further? Looks lower than I would suspect on that suspension.

@OP: Are you all the way down in the front? I am and it's not quite as low as I might wish, but satisfactory.. also wish they were stiffer but oh well.

Correction, Drove An '05 C230 Kompressor SS
Looking Very Nice!!
Question for you about the Projector Foglights, Do they light up the road more then the factory fogs did?
are you running HIDs in them or just halogen bulbs?
Any night pics of the front of the car light up?
Oh, And are the tails sprayed or vinyl? Looks really good!!

I don't have any night pics but I'll try and put some up first chance I get.
The lights were sprayed. It REALLY makes a difference as far as look goes. I'm happy how it turned out.
