Looking Take the cheap-looking chrome off. If she doesn't like it, it can easily go back!

Bought on eBay. My friend works at a body shop and did it for me. He used PPG automotive paint.

Newest thing on the car... new tow hook cover that someone stole at the mall. hate thieves. I'm just glad the timing is right because i could just get it painted while my new bumper gets getting done.

I'm not sayin' not to take it off..... I'm just thinking that maybe you should wait until you put the wheels that you want on it.... I could be way off, but looking at the other cars you've modded............ it kinda looks like you like "Shiny things" lmfao!!! If you end up with a rim with chrome or maybe a polished lip, you may wish that you still had the strip to go with it???

Just my $.02. And I can take Paypal if you'd like to give me a "Penny for my thoughts".
I guess you can keep the change???

What's a good chip and how much do you get out of it?
i put a Revo chip in my Audi TT a long time ago and it was one of the best mods i did. Wasn't too sure how much i would get out of chipping N/A cars.

Very nice dude! Is it me or the pic? It appears the bumper is one shade lighter than the rest of the car? (Less cream, more whitish)

The bumper matches the rest of the car really good but my hood is more white then the rest of the car. You can see how the bumper color flows really good into the fender and the hood looks lighter. I had it painted after we bought the car because it had a bunch of rock chips and probably get it repainted soon. Reason was because my friend's toner was off at the time that he painted the hood.

Don't forget to install the foglight surrounds. I had mine painted black before I installed them.
Looks good!

Yup, lower door trim removal, then H&R Sport Springs, a set of larger offset wheels... then a chip w/induction.... I could make some recommendations here, but I'm more familiar with Nissan/Nismo products.

I want to put some Vossens on it so bad but my chic wont let me because i made her last car not drivable downtown. She wont let me lower it and doesn't want to deal with baggs again.
I'm just going to do some 18" AMG wheels and chip.
Her G before i sold it. She hated driving it on bad roads.

Sweet! That will be a much desired classic if not so already. We have a few clients and staff with that exact year G, set up almost exactly the same, but they pumped huge money into their engines as well. I know what you mean, that set-up is not meant as a daily-driver.


Chip Info: We use these guys for a few of our clients. http://www.powerchipgroup.com/choice...hipgroup%2Ecom Also KLEEMANN is running a MBW special: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...u-special.html
