Not sure, I'll ask him, but I don't think so. If they are, it was minimal as he put those pics up shortly after I got home from the shoot. He was working on other people's pictures at the time too.

Thanks, the wheels turned out great, I was really happy when I got them installed. The matte silver turned out great with the colour of the car too. Feel kind of cool too with the matt finish!

Yeah Centre St. needs a lot of repair. Saw a sign up at that intersection, they said that Centre St. will be closed from August 1st to 3rd. Hopefully they will repair the craptacular condition of the road. Didn't specify where though, I wonder if they really planning on shutting down all of Centre St. That would be mayhem!

Hey all, thanks for the positive comments. I took the shots for Justin that day.

Camera was a Canon 50D. As for post processing..nothing much. Upped the contrast and adjusted some sharpness and reduced some noise in Photoshop CS3. Everything was pretty clean out of the camera. The lighting was pretty much spot on and I tried to balance it all with the ambient. Overall...came out lookin good!

Here is an updated pic of the front end. Added the Lux Grille painted Palladium Silver where the chrome used to be and Gloss Black where the Silver used to be behind the chrome. Also added the MB Star on the hood.



Other notable changes: Polarg Eyelid Bulbs. Will be getting the Brabus CF Mirror Covers shortly here as well. Don't know if I'll put them on before winter. Looking into Remus exhaust and taillight trims painted to match the car.

C300 Luxury
Looks really nice. I don't know why but I love the lux grill so much more, I like to be reminded I'm driving a Benz I guess

I had a tough time deciding if I liked it or not. With the lux grille, it gives it a traditional MB feel. Also, with the emblem on the grille, it's the exact same as the flat one on the hood and it looked kind of redundant which is why I made the switch.

Looks great! I know what you mean by the upright emblem. It doesn't look right with 2 of identical emblems from the lux grill and the sport flat emblem.

Palladium Silver + 5 Spoke = Sweet!
