Sooo yeah after looking forever. i found these babys semi gloss Brabus Rep's with 80% tread all around for dirt cheap.
I LOVE the new look. Finally pulled my car's murdered look together a little more :clap:
(yeah i know i need tire polish and tint but plz dont comment on that lol)
I had to order custom lugnuts for the back cuz before it hit the hub and was too long.

[Not to mention i blacked out all my emblems,trim,and got my front grill painted gloss black instead of flat black]

Also the back fit so close that even after rolling my fenders, i had to do it a little more with a towel and a big metal thing lool. calipers are REALLY close. and i plan on repainting them WAY better eventually. So dont comment on that either haha. they USED to be white :dunno:

SO whatcha think guys? i went from 17x7.7 front and 17x8.8back to now 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5back :thumbup: :drool: :drool:

BEFORE:

AFTER:





























:clap: :clap: i am VERY satisfied

and here's a pic with my newly tinted rear taillights and tire polish :thumbup:

edit: i also have black center caps now :thumbup:

BLACK CENTERCAPS! FINALLY! WIN!

Howd you get your lights tinted? Professionally?

is that aftermarket exhaust????

Actually (IMO) the "before" picture looks better

did it myself, a version of "VHT nightshades". VERY LIGHT LAYERS, and a good clear

Yeeeep

1-off Custom muffler for Supersprint

but that video sucks. i need to make a new one without my resonator.

what grit sandpaper did you use to sand the chrome door moldings before you painted it?

300 or 400 i think. i dont remember, whichever one is more fine. just make sure it looks like its hazed over, spray it, wait, then spray again. then wait for 1hr
then do like 2-3clear coats

what % tint do you have on your windows?

The rims look spraypainted. If they are you might want to bring them to a body shop and get them professionally done, rocks nd'***** will chip them to hell and it will look pretty ghetto pretty quick.

I tinted my rear tails on my W124, did you use nightshades? Looks like you might need to put some clearcoat over them then hit it with 1500 or 2000 before the polish. I went an interesting route, bought some Pactra Window Tint. They use it for the lexan bodies on remote control cars. Stuff worked GREAT, they key is a super super tough clearcoat after, or it will all go to hell in the matter of a year.

Advanced Auto sells the tint for 11 bux a can! " Night Shade"

Half right......like I posed above you its NITE SHADES, made by VHT. Unless advance is carrying a Chinese knockoff

WOW, are you correcting me trying to help others? It is Night shades, by VHT and I have a few cans, that I bought from my JOB at ADVANCE AUTO. I was merely offering help, no need to be a jerk . Thanks Yoda

looks like AA pays well

Need spacers baaad in the back.
Dont mean to hate but Ive always hated black rims as they just seem to cheapen the look and without a polished lip IMO. Bein around the vdub seen put a bad impression on me as they all do it too their stock rims and black rims look horrible while in motion.
But drop it more in the front and finish the "murdered" look and im interested in what itll look like

LOL! One job of many, no one ever got anywhere, sitting around. Pay to play my friend You obviously know what i mean.

“Not if anything to say about it I have”


I kid! I apologize man, did'nt want to come off as a jerk! What I was trying to get across was that Night = Nite just in case someone went to the store and was looking for the properly spelled "Night Shades" as one would expect.

I know i need spacers. its a little too low. lol.

And then also with my wheels, these are going to be refinished gloss black w/ a dark red TA stripe. and then calipers will be painted to match

The rears are like 20% darker than factory. but then my very rear has no tint.

Im going to get limo in the back though and some other type of whatever i can get away with on the front. and the windshield nothing.

GOOD! Wheels will look great with professionally sprayed black, mean and stealthy comes to mind. Height is perfect if you level it out, let us know how much the ride quality suffers.

Ok, my misunderstanding Thanks for the clarification.

pshhhh ride quality.
Im interested in seeing the gloss black with red

i like your tails, but the emblems don't look so great. i agree with the other member who said the original looks better. sorry~ good luck though
