Hey guys,

Picked her up a few weeks ago now but finally got around to taking some primitive pics with my iPhone earlier...

Just got done painting the grille myself as well - I think it cleans it up nicely!

Next thing to go are the wheels...I'm sorry for those who like them, but I don't think they can get any gayer.

Already cleared out my turn signal bulbs and it really helps bring out the lines in the head/tail lamps imo.

Loving the birdseye and MM!

Fantastic in the corners...

Best,

Chris

few more angles of the same thing...sorry for the repetitiveness, but it's like looking at yourself in the mirror: you can't look just once!

No I don't think so...the VIM doesn't really interest me to be honest and I don't really care about the backup camera...

I would have done a lot more cosmetic modifications by now but I'm trying to be prudent and not spend (waste) too much money as of late...

THE RIMS HAVE TO GO!!!!!! Every time I look at them I want to puke

Thanks for the comments guys...I have to say that it is a nice change coming from an 07 E...

I do wish, however, that we had the 350 available in 4M because the 300 is just not the same - it's the main thing I miss.

Nonetheless, it really is a fantastic machine and anyone considering a competitor in the segment is really missing out imo. Just a solid car, and is extremely well thought out.

Take the money you saved getting a 300 and just get a Kleeman K2 package and you'll be pushing higher numbers than a 350

Thanks! Gonna save up my pennies for a while and then pony up for her new shoes...

Not looking forward to buying the rubber though - was so much easier on my E...came stock with 18's so all I had to was swap wheels which we all know can be done nowadays for about $500...

Oh well, my father always told me that patience was a virtue - let's find out!

I wish that K2 was available right now! Sounds like it won't be out until closer to the end of the year... I'd spring for it today, not sure how I'll feel 6-9 mo. from now. I got the itch NOW!

You and me both bro. I have the exact same car/color as you and the rims totally kill the overall style imo. They're disgusting. I just haven't had the time to look around and figure out what I really want to replace them.

when you decide what to get post some pics..i may copy.

Hey, I'll take some good quality ones very soon but there should be some okay ones on the forum. The quads is my fav mod by far I've done so far.
