But now I am glad I made the trade, I just came back from a trip upstate with it and the[IMG]http://[/IMG] ride quailty great. Heres some Pics

Nice, congrats!

Coming from a Lancer Evo, what do you think of the power?

congrats and welcome aboard!

CaponeMB

Well..my Evo had 360 HP to the wheels there is no contest, but I like the luxury you get with MB. The Evo was very fast and handled great but that was all, no sort of luxury there.

CitronC230K_03

i think youll enjoy the MB much more than a mitsubishi.

CaponeMB

I think so too..I just like driving it. But I think it's time to start moding.

CitronC230K_03

never to soon to start modding IMO.

hehe. one day i drove next to a guy in a mitsubishi lancer evolution and I didn't dare to do anything. omg. just the sound of that engine intimidated the heck out of me.

Nice looking car...I was thinking of getting White on my '05. Enjoy it!

mick1

did you tint the windows ? they look kinda darker than normal. thanks.

CaponeMB

Yeah... 3 days after i got it. It's 35% tint. I didn't what to go any darker due to the fact that I had an IS300 with 20% tint and I would get a ticket once a month.

CitronC230K_03

your car looks good. what options did you get on your car?

CaponeMB

Nothing special, Sunroof package, heated seats and satellite radio. I just remenbered I replaced all of the lights (Head light, High beam & Fog lights) with super white bulbs....but that is considered a small mod.

CitronC230K_03

cool! i wanna get the sirius for my coupe. i have XM now but want to run it through my COMAND with the MB sirius. how do you like the sirius?

Congrats!!! I'm getting the same color. The car is still at VPC, hopefully it will get to the dealer this weekend or early next week. Enjoy your car!!!

CaponeMB

In fact it is at the dealer right now being installed. They need to order the module. I didn't fell like waiting another week just for that. So I took delivery and setup an appointment. And thanks nizmo924.

CaponeMB, what color tint is that? And did you have the tint place do anything special to keep the tint from cracking when rolled down (something about the brushes or some other piece inside the door that is abrasive)?

Thanks.

CaponeMB, congrats on your beautiful new car. Looks great!

i was wondering, which do you like better in terms of ride quality and handling? the IS 300 or your C230?

CitronC230K_03

thats a great question. my friend has an IS300 and ive driven it once. i like the C230WZ better myself, but i think my opinion would be biased.

the IS300 is very smooth i must say. not fancy about the center console in the IS300, i do like the gauges but they arent ergonomic IMO.

Welcome!

What the used was an thick grey tint. When I first got it done it looked like the tint was bubbling so I went back to my friend who was the owner of the shop and I said I don't think this is right. But he said because the tint is so thick water bubbles form which would go away in a few day. I left the shop still thinking that was bull s**t so I waited a day or two and thank god the bubbles went away and it looks great. I had it for about 5 days and no cracking, but if it does happen the tint has a life time warranty.

CaponeMB

The IS300 was nice but nothing IMO beats the ride of the MB.

Congrats on the new MB! I just purchased the samew model and color a few days ago. I hope you're enjoying it as much as I am.

I live in Queens, Whitestone, Just got the c320 in white looks awsome. Good luck with the car. Maybe see you out one of these days on the Island. I work out there sometimes. I am thinking of getting the windows tinted but I have the blue shade stuff on the windows. So I don't know If I should. What do you guys think> Maybe a light black, like 35, 40 to let the blue shine through a bit. Any type of suggestions would be great.

Capone did you have the blue windows?

CaponeMB

Yeah, I have the blue tint. With my tint if you look close in the sun you can still see a blue a little. At first I wasn't going to tint it because I kinda like the blue but my friend just got a E320 in white and tinted it and it looked great. so I did the same. I work in Queens near exit 22 on the belt parkway.
