:P

Anybody with a white, stock C350 with 18'AMG got extra time on their hands, I'd really appreciate a picture of the car that's posing like this:
*This is Munchen's car *


thanks!

I just can't decide between white and black everytime I see this pic. Thanks a lot munchen :P (p.s your car looks great xD)

Didn't have the wheel turned, but this was near stock. There should be plenty on the picture thread sticky.

thanks again man

i got through the whole thread and couldn't find any like that (with the wheel turned)

I don't know why, but when the wheels are turned away from the camera, it looks especially good, like it was baring it's teeth or something?

I think I have some of when I just pulled off the lot with the wheel turned, but pics are on my home computer. I'll see if I can dig them up.

Contact John at JS Design Factory (http://www.jsdesignfactory.com/) and tell him I referred you. He's got precuts I believe.

1. Go to Kragen or any other autopart store
2. Buy some chrome spray paint (doesn't even have to be high temp cause the turn signal isn't continuously on so won't really heat up).
3. Pull out the bulbs, give them a quick spray, let dry.
4. Put them back in.

Total cost....$4.

And when the paint flakes off in time it will end up inside the reflector housing.

My tip is to buy high quality turn signal bulbs, such as Osram Diadem:
http://cgi.ebay.com/OSRAM-DIADEM-581...3A1%7C294%3A50

They look really great, even when lit, they give off a very special color light.

Well, I've done this for years on all my past cars, never had any paint flaking issues. Paint flaking is caused by moisture getting underneath the paint. That shouldn't be an issue with bulbs. Same concept as tinting tail lights or even sidemarkers. They don't flake easily.

Those Osram look like they have a bluish tint. That'll get magnified as it reflects off the housing. I have Polarg white indicator bulbs that also have a bluish tint to them, which were amplified by the reflective housing as well.
