///AMGSC C32 build

Hi guys,

Figured I'd start a thread and share with you my build process rather than flooding the pic thread. Made the switch from an 04 C240 4matic to this beautiful 04 obsidian black C32 (86k mi) in June and have completely fallen in love! I plan to finish all the aesthetics first then move on to performance in the spring once the brutal Syracuse winter dies down.

Mods so far:
Depo Headlights (6000k)
Gary (suvneer) projector fogs (3000k)
black grille
JB Speed flat hood emblems (AMG & Affalterbach)
Dual quad exhaust (Magnaflow 12468)
CF diffuser
18" staggered mandrus milleniums (soon to be custom powder coated)
H&R springs w/ Bilstein B8 shocks/struts


But okay enough talking haha time for some pics

Euro Trunk Insert arrived...debating on whether to paint it obsidian black to match the car, or have it wrapped CF to go with the flow of everything else

WHAT A STEAL!! Picking these up next weekend, can't wait to rebuild them for the spring/summer. Thinking about perfect white faces with gold rivets & polished lips w/ red wheel caps. What do you guys think?
