I really like your stance and wheel combo. I kinda like those wheels better than my renntechs.

I think you should have just painted the caliper and left the spring retainer part and actual pad unpainted. Still an improvement

Love the wheels. I would have gone with the RED they use on the ML 55 calipers, nice and stands out BUT not too obnoxious.

You hve a very good taste my friend! really i conserve the chrome emblems.. bt your car looks beautiful congrats on all your mods! if you replace your pads you can stay them in black coat & they looks the contrast in the orange caliper/black pads

Congrats on all buddy
