Before and after

I thought it would be cool to see the before and after pics of the car taken at the exact same spots. All comments welcome

The grill and emblems were all painted, I took off the existing ones and primered and painted them. Rims were powdercoated. Im not really a fan of dark tint at all. I think it looks nice but I dont like how it obscures my visibility.

Are those coil-overs or standard lowering springs? I can't imagine there's much suspension travel. Looks like it's on the bumpstops.

1. Frosted lenses fixed: That is good

2. Car lowered : Good in southern states where roads not an issue, here in the great white north it would rattle your fillings ( I like the look though)

3. I retro badge it back to a C230 for stealth or no badges at all (keep em guessing just what went by )

4. Can you outrun that GTO (goat) next to you??? Is that 6.0 or the 5.7??

Before & after what?

Getting a new camera? Learning how to use it? Ditching the star? Finding some black paint?

Great subject line.

Tune before or after racing the 6.0 GTO??? We've learned it (the race) was before he had a tune.
