Talking CNTLAW got some new shoes!!!!

CNTLAW,

Since you're pic was the only one w/ a side-shot and readily available, my buddy photoshopped your car w/ these specific HRE's so I can see what our car would look like w/ them .....just wanted to share w/ you hope you don't mind?

Nice, somehow that accentuates the longer nature of the car's nose...which I like a lot. Although that rear drop is a little to aggressive heh.

NEOPRUFROK,

that is exactly why i can't wait to drop mine!!!! because as you stated, I also feel that w/ the longer clk nose, by lowering the car it will give the perception that the car is longer.......ditto on the rear drop...gotta tell my buddy to adjust his coilover photoshop paintbrush!!! :p

Hi , DbleNckel , Please tell your friend that was the most welcome things to do . The mix of my new 19" silver and black color wheels surely gain some good contrast to the Brilliant Silver and I agree the new wheels make the body looked longer.

KW coilovers, H&R coilovers, Calrsson coilovers, Bilstien coilovers...


After seeing this pic, i cant wait to get my HRE's and KW's installed now! :p




Also, the car is looking longer only because its much lower, i dont think the wheels have anything to do with it.

Definitely the look to match its true performance......but then you'll lose the "fun-factor" of the surprise when you take some ignorant ricer...:o

I would think the general public wouldn't know the diff between Kompressor and AMG though I have had a couple of people give me the nod including some dudes in a civic.

Yes, but the nod could have been just a gesture of approval of a very nice lookin' car.......chances are, they thought you'd modded a regular C so they thought your mods were nice, A woman asked me just the other day, "will the kompressor harm the car?".......mmmmmm, lol rotf

the new ones looks nice, but i dont think they looked they was fitted 100% correctly...

in contrary, the stock ones looks perfect...
