If we're talking about the rear camber then I actually had custom camber arms fabricated to adjust camber. Only time the sway bar will hit the camber arm is when I air out which is fine because I don't need to go any lower anyways.

do you happen to have any idea how those headlights were smoked if they were smoked before you got it? Or any hunch as to how I could get mine done the same way.

EDIT: Your car is fresh as hell btw, I wouldn't get the lip if it was me, but everything else is SICK.

haha, thanx man. That lip came with the car when I bought it. I am doing a 2012+ conversion. If the lip still fits, I'll keep it, but if not, will probably get rid of it. Anyways, the headlights come black like that. There's a black and chrome version, I am guessing you got the chrome version. You can always look up the tutorial on how to paint the inside so that it's black. Pretty straight forward process if you're up for a DIY.

To me this is the sickest car on this forum. What wheels are those and what size? Foos Speed? Niche Apex? Mandrus Manheim? OEM? Everything looks amazing.

I noticed that you do not have the same trunk spoiler on the pictures posted later on in your thread as you do in these first pictures.
Did you end up taking it off?

Your LS400 looked awesome. Sorry to see it go in such a way.

The W204 is coming along great.

Will these just fit a standard 2010 C300? Will they mess with the tire pressure monitor?

Yup, those ebay ones are the same ones. They will fit your 2010 C300, and you might want to google "tire pressure monitor" to understand how they work. You just move them over when you switch wheels, just gotta make sure you put them on the same side, because they are programmed specifically for each side.

Thank you man! I do miss the LS400, but just gotta move on now. I think by the time I am done with this car, it should look pretty sweet too. Still lots of stuff to do though.

Thank you man! In other news: Finally got both headlights for a good deal. Found one for $375 shipped and then the other one for $275 shipped. I'll probably do a write-up on how to wire them up if anybody is interested.

Yeah, I got both on ebay, that's pretty much the go-to place to buy stuff. You just gotta hunt for good deals. Don't overpay for these though, there are auctions on ebay for over $800, and you can get them new from parts.com for $800.

This build is insanely good. I can't wait to get my bag kit on and start putting more pieces into my w204.

Props though.

Took off all of my Brushed Aluminum trims:


Ended up wrapping them in a textured 3M vinyl that looks just like Black Wood:


I'll take more pix of this if anybody is interested in seeing more.

Dammmmm your ride is looking real good. Good thing you got rid of those horrid mirrors, and went with the arrow style ones.

And I think the next must is bigger front rotors and brakes. They look too small with the wheel honestly. But other than that, the car looks awesome. Keep it up man.
