w204_Generic

Nice I wanted to upgrade my headlights and retrofit them, but I'm afraid I'll lose the adaptive portion of them. The bixenon's on the 12-14 C's are meh.

Adi-Benz

What are advatages of s2000 upgrade?

And lack of knowledge I assume just makes it brighter? Lol.

How was taillight retrofit? Did u need SAM coding?

97 GSX 97

Brighter and a better cut off.

w204_Generic

Like the guy said above me, brighter with a better surface area and a cleaner cutoff. Yes, you need to code the rear sam unit, or you can buy a facelift rear sam unit.

Nice front bumper! But i can see easy the metal inside, so i would paint the inside metal as black. Just to look better!!

Dont like to see those metal...

Nice build anyways!!

w204_Generic

Good idea about painting the front support beam. I might do that in the future!

superangrypenguin

No front jammer or did you do such a great job that I can't see it?

AntiLaserPriority FTW. The blinders aren't useful against the DragonEye LIDAR guns.

w204_Generic

You can't see them, they are behind the grill. Updates coming soon...

Single-Fin Grill (Mostly Black)

Crazy how just a grill swap can make such a big difference

Adi-Benz

nice!

w204_Generic

Quad exhaust and wheels are next.


Taking forever for the quad exhaust to come in the mail. Have not ordered wheels yet, so many to choose from.... I'm thinking about these:

Adi-Benz

name?

I'm getting ready to buy wheels even tho I won't be able to put them on for a few months idk whats going on with me.

w204_Generic

lol, they are called Renn Motorsport RS-51. I won't be able to put them on in months either, that is why I haven't bought any yet...




Also, change of conversation direction, but do you think I should remove the chrome stripe on the sides of the car?

Like this: (First picture is with the side chrome trim)

Adi-Benz

I've been debating the same thing myself for my car.

If you plan on going to black it out then I'd say yes. But I assume your quad tips are chrome so maybe it will flow a little better to keep them silver.

What I plan on doing is grabbing some electrical tape and going over the chrome (perfect size, color, and no damage lol) and it will give me a good visual on how it would look. I suggest you try the same and maybe then it will make the decision easier

w204_Generic

Good idea, I might do that. I don't plan to black it out since it is played out too much. That's why the grill I got is entirely black but the stripe on the fin. My exhaust tips will be chrome. I might just keep the chrome stripe on the fin in the front and then the trunk chrome stripe in the rear and remove the door chrome stripes. It just looks out of place in my opinion, like it was just taped on real quick....

w204_Generic

Much better when chrome side trim is removed! Glad I did yesterday.

M~Factor

You could vinyl wrap the remaining chrome around the window frame.
