Hooley's Blackout project

I've decided to under take a blackout project I just got my car back to day and I think the work looks rather good, It will take some getting use to for sure. Next step is blacking out all the badges then see If my lady will let me do the chrome trim.

Also the as you can see my car is back from the body shop. The work looks flawless.

here are some quick pics with my trusty camera phone. Sorry I left my digi cam at my brothers house.

Looks great, hooleyboy.

Word to the wise, I've heard tinted headlights are an absolute cop magnet... YMMV.

Looks awesome, but IMO there are too many badges on the trunk.
Btw, I love how your tails came out.

I love the black grill and have been thinking about doing that. I've darkened my sidemarkers also and love it. IMO, this looks best on a black car. Props for taking the plunge and trying this

I'd ditch the Renntech badge at least. Then, maybe, both of the others if you really want to clean things up. After all, the quad pipes and the s/c whine will do all the talking for you. Looks nice!

have you considered taking out the AMG emblem and shift the Renntech over?
might look that much cleaner

Mike, debadge the whole car and keep em guessin. The plate says it all anyway, M3LOL !!!! I've always wanted M3ETR (or rebadge to a C230 )

Hey Mike, OT, but I found something that'll almost outrun your car and its driven by a "girl." She did 330 feet in 6.13 seconds. Your car did 330 in 4.8??

Fastest Mammal on Earth


Cheetahs always win (except against Hooley)

Usain Bolt may get his share of million-dollar jackpots for being a world champ sprinter, but he's got nothing on 8-year-old Sarah. The Cincinnati Zoo's cheetah ambassador just beat the 2001 land-speed world record for mammals.

A male cheetah in South Africa covered 100 meters in 6.19 seconds. Sarah didn't beat that just once, but twice: She first clocked in at 6.16 seconds and then 6.13 seconds—which, by the way, bested Bolt's August sprint by more than 3 seconds. And that's from a girl who has been in captivity pretty much her whole life.

lol.....love the comments on the many badges....he also has a HUGE dynocomp sticker on his front windshield which you can see in sig if you look carefully and a dynocomp badge on each side near where the V6 kompressor badges go on the C32.

mike.....your GF has told you you have too many badges and you are ruining the symmetry. looks like some of the guys agree (but don't tell her that)

if you're going to change it, i say leave C55 on the left by itself, and either keep the AMG on the right, or replace it with the Renntech. Not both. IMO

Not an AMG :(
Looks good Hooleyboy!

+1 to badge clutter.
I would get rid of the RennTech badge - you're not sporting that much RennTech hardware on the car anyway, right?

Looks good Hooley. I thought about doing that to my headlights/tails as well. Did you leave your fogs clear? It looks like it from the pics.

I would get rid of the Renntech badge and add "K" after the C55, and keep the AMG. Subtle, yet meaningful for those in the know......and curious for those who aren't.

+1...C55 on the left and RennTech on the right side if you badge. The extreme would be debadge totally...my favorite on a blackout.

Either way...you have a Beast on your hands.

yikes.

You've not only made your car look awful, you've also made it more dangerous for other drivers.

well done.
