Next Upgrade

Just concurred with my wife of 10 days, and she decided that we are getting the Carlsson Quad(-TIP) Exhaust and the AMG Body Kit. So, I'll call Autoclass next week since I already got a quote from them.

She vehemently objected to the front AMG, side rear Carlsson Body kit setup.

This is going to be an OEM on the very top of my list. Else, I won't be able to trust my car to her.

its costing me about $1600 roughly in parts. im spacing them out. i get paid every two weeks and i prefer to pay cash for everything. so im just spacing out my deliveries. 6 shipments total. i have them spaced out so i can start my install once i get the new impact strips in, which is my next order.

please post pics of the quad tips once they are installed. i would love to even have dual exhaust on mine.

Are you order the parts through the stealership?

I probably won't do the installs until we are back from our honeymoon in mid-September. I'll stash the body kit and exhaust in my largely empty apartment for the time being

Congrats on the marriage I know I have complained recently about my wife, but I can say she is great. I think since we have our first child on the way, both of our prioritys have changed.. Get all the mods you can before the baby comes. In all fairness my wife gave me the boost controller for my twinturbo 300zx years ago for my Bday

cool wife

why not just go w/ complete Carlsson kit all around? Don't know if the Carlsson quad will fit the C55 AMG bumper openings. That's IF you get the C55 bumper. If not, you'll need to make cut out from the standard no opening for the exhaust OR the one w/ left side opening like on the C32 and 05 C sport.

The problem is she doesn't like the RS look in the front (she thought that one looks kind of dull with that large mesh below with no design around it, but she's ok with the side and the rear)

We don't want to risk mismatching the AMG front bumper with the RS side skirts and rear bumper. So, my way out is to buy the AMG rear and have them use a cardboard to make a stencil of the left opening and cut another opening on the right side for the other tip.

Actually, she doesn't even know how to shift. Last time, she was sitting at the driver seat in our apartment's garage. I taught her how to back the car out. When I put the gear into R and she let go of the brake. She started screaming! :p

However, she's cool with matching clothes and handbags though.

Don't think so. Ever watch TLC's "What not to wear?" You'll be amazed

Today, my wife's talking about how our black car would really match her new suit that she bought for her graduate interview.

You should be able to find members in your area with the Carlsson setup. I think they will be glad to show you their cars.
