Camera install

The process is very tedious. It took about 3 hours to get done but the end result is great. Camera is a big help and the video in motion is just a bonus.

I believe the front is at 50%. I did not want to go darker because on my truck I had 20% and was pulled over multiple times because of it. During the day 50% looks slightly tinted but at night you can't really see through unless a light is on inside the car.

Those pics are nothing compared to seeing the car in person. I was at HMS on Saturday and witnessed the transformation.

The caliper paint just "pops" out against the black wheels. The wheels are amazing with the black textured spokes and weigh right about 20 lbs so the the unsprung weight should be felt in acceleration.

Great work HMS and JoeMoney!!!

What company makes the video in motion / back up camera kit?

How much has the ride been altered with the H&R springs? I'm interested in going with this option too.

W204:

Midcity Engineering makes the video in motion with back-up camera. Works great!

Sebring:

Ride has not changed a bit with the springs, feels like stock as far as ride comfort goes. I would definitely recommend these. I was thinking of installing KW coilovers but the $2,000+ price tag quickly steered me towards H&R's.

Are those the Sport or SuperSport springs?

Krytech,

They are the Super Sport springs.

Danny Boy,

Thanks for the compliment, your car looks insane. Sorry to hear about that recent mishap.

AMG sedans and an M 2+2 car
hey man, what was the process needed to paint your brake calipers? Do they bake them? Did you have to change your brake fluid and does it withstand high temp. driving well without fading (spirited driving)?

If you don't mind... maybe you can share the cost involved as well? I'm thinking of spraying mine to yellow...

P.S I'm sorry, I know there are a lot of questions lol
