haha sorry guys for bumping up and old *** thread...just was reminiscing w/Ben(silverlorinserC)about our cars and I remember this photoshoot....memories *wipes tears* Dudes my car was pretty bad *** even before I did the last makeover haha!

 

I miss your car too, bro! But I'm glad you bumped your old thread, cuz I didn't realize how good of a location Sherman Oaks Galleria is for a Photoshoot!

How's the new pimp mobile? Got any new pics to share?

 

cars looks sick! where are they both residing now?

 

that's some 3rd World OG $h!t !!

 

 

thats gangsta

 

nice! lorinser add-on VS lorinser edition

 

Two of the best of all time. How did you get the black grille in the last mods?

 

Had it painted black

 

We were planning on doing night roof top shots but we never got a chance to I guess....As far as my new car, still haven't done a damn thing on it so I refuse to post pix lol. Ben on the other hand has a SEMI modded new SUV and a modded bike-he's baller


silverlorinserC= R.I.P.
lorinsercclass= sitting at my buddies house helping him get laid LOL


jajaja OG Veteranos! Sup Carlos, long time no see!

Yeah I actually really wanted to do that before my 'Panda Bear' theme but never had the guts to do it....looks good on the P-Shop though


Yup. We coined Gangsta way back in '04



YUP! Funny thing is I got Ben's DTM kit after his accident lol-for cheap too!


Simple paint job. I think they sand and paint. It does chip after regular driving though due to rocks/etc

 

Cool. Thanks. Any idea how it held up as far as rocks and chips? Trying to figure out the best way to get a black grille. Aftermarket, paint or something else.

Drex, your car looks great too.

 

No matter what, it's hard to avoid the rocks and chips. My grille is already chipped up and I had it painted bairly a year ago (although, mine is color matched).

I think it depends on what you are going for. I know there are some companies that sell grilles on ebay that are already painted, but I don't know how reliable they are. It would be cheaper to have your grille painted by a good body shop. If you want to go the "cheapest" route, depending on what kind of look you are going for, you can buy paint from autozone yourself and do it yourself.

Just remember though, when you paint it yourself, unless you sand down the chrome, you have to get a paint that will stick. There's always a choice between flat black and regular black. If I had a black or white car, I'd probably have a shop do black chrome (very nice looking and not as flashy as regular chrome).

 

Not trying to go the cheapest way. Trying to go with the way that will stand up over time. I was wondering if the ebay and sponsors grilles are paint or molded in the flat black, ever actually seen one?

I actually like the 05 grille better than the other already painted one. The dealer wants 187 for a new grille that I can take to a good body shop. I would expect to pay about the same for the paint. My car is obsidian so I would probably do the flat black. Definitely not going to do it myself.

LorinserCClass- you had the best wheels on a C in my opinion. Great choice in both chrome or polish and then the black was funky and ahead of the times. You see the black all over now. Wish I could of found a deal on them HREs when I bought my wheels.

 

I would see if anybody has an '05 grille used. There are quite a few people that changed to the formymercedes grille, so somebody may have one they would sell to you used. Just post a WTB: '05 OEM w203 grille thread in the Classifieds. $187 for a new grille isn't bad, considering it's the dealer. Flat black would look good on an Obsidian Black car.

As for LorinserCClass' rims, you do realize that before he sold his car he had custom black centers on those HRE's...LOL. And my rims are custom color matched, which I haven't seen anybody on the C Class forum do.

 

Thanks man. Seems you kinda know a bit of history of the car =) We really tried to experiment back in the day-BrabusCClass, silverlorinserC, MBPhreak, BrabusC, jonji, sinyo1, Pudgy, AMGRider, SilvaC32(wow getting all nostalgic here)and everyone kinda pushed each other to out do one another, lots of truly OG ideas were generated that are nowadays pretty common place among W203 modders.

 

nice cars. im a fan of the lorinser look if you couldent tell....

 

Hey enri, does SilvaC32 still have his car? what happeend to it?

 

Man those are beautiful. Too hard to choose between the two, but gotta go with the silver cuz that color is the ish.

 

It's people like you who make regular Benzo's seem so plain and motivates us spend so much money on modding

Anyways... Hats of to the OG's much respect here!

 

Mike, but I can say that you are one of the few newbies that I remember actually "searching" the forum first before starting to post more regularly!...So maybe that's another reason why you're spending all that money on mods

BTW, did you put on the hood yet?

 

Ah... you got me there. Its partly my fault for actually doing research on future mods.

Picked the hood up last night from Johnny. It won't get painted for awhile, I may throw it on just to change things up.
