please don't wreck the C43 like the "C23"

I'm usually really open to different types of vehicles, lowriders, etc. etc. (i own some cars from very different ends of the spectrum) but what's with those wheels COMBINED with fake performance badging? I know it doesn't say AMG on it, but same difference when you drop the "0". The wheels are just a completely different style than the supposed performance direction of the rest of the car. This is just my opinion and it's your car (no one likes a lot of what i do either).

What's up with the smoked corners and stock headlamps?

I do like the stance though- mine is about that low too if not lower

as far as insurance goes- i'm still 24 (and yeah, i really do earn my money as well) and i've had a lot of cars in the past, insurance really isn't that bad and it's just something you have to deal with. I'm paying around 2500 a year right now for everything.

mmmm ok!? what's up with the hate there lol,
my c230 kompressor does not say AMG anywhere, and wheels are authentic asanti customly made...prolly worth more then your rides

and smoked corners on c43 is not ok ?...fine, your choice lol who cares
only mods on c43 is RELIGIOUS maintenance and perfomance wise, on the way with pulley, kleeman headers etc

it's like you writing supercharged c43 when it's not even supercharged

peace out!

if you paid more for your asanti wheels than you paid for the c43 i feel very badly for you. It IS a matter of pride for me how LITTLE i paid for my vehicles though (not to say they aren't worth a lot). The point is i own the same car as your better one and with the supercharger which you seem to think isn't there and yet your trying to rip on my cars?

Asanti was played out 4 years ago and was never cool on a sedan. Arguably maybe would have been cool on a 4.6hse back in the day AND if you could rhyme. Why don't you just lift it, fit some 24s and put M badges on it?

I'm assuming you intend to add the smoked headlights down the road? the corner comment wasn't mean to be an attack, i was just hoping to confirm you were changing the lamps to match.

like i said i'm generally very accepting of different styles- i just don't think your c23 fits into ANY niche so far as automotive customization goes. The combination of huge heavy, heavy wheels and fake performance badging is the kiss of death. Normally i'd just let it go and move on, but the C43s are rare enough that i would hate to see one meet a similar fate even if it takes making myself look like an a$$ to avoid that.

so, recap-

1. your rims are not worth more than my rides (although i do own some rims worth more than one of your rides)

2. i don't have fake supercharger badging. in fact, i have no supercharger badging and yet i do have a supercharger on my c43

3. if you had anything but a rare AMG i'd let you be and not come out looking like a jerk, but i'd just hate to see it ruined

lastly, i'll definitely give you a second chance with no hard feelings if you'll do the same. We can just end this stupid argument here. I know i did some stupid things to cars when i was younger (dumber than your C23 to be honest) and i am sorry for the semi-personal attack. I just wanted to make sure i got enough said to feel like i did my part in preventing destruction of the new car.
