Autosport7's Ride - Pics Inside
Now I know this thing needs a drop like none other, but here she is in her current state.
I have the springs sitting in my garage, just gotta find time to get them on.
I also have another Single Fin Grill coming in OEM chrome/blk, still on the fence with the gloss blk grill at this time, let me know your thoughts on it.
I should prob mention I am in no way shape or form a photographer!
Onto the pics:

Looks great
I don't think the ride height looks bad, imho pretty good actually
Small nit: get a black or no license plate frame lol
The black grill looks terrible
You might want to think about getting rid of it
I like the substation background

Thank you. My #1 goal first and foremost is "clean", so I really appreciate that compliment.
Thanks!
Ha no motive on the grill comment eh? It's yours if you want it as I mentioned.
My new one should be here in a week or so if I had to guess.
Thanks, something a bit different for a backdrop I guess.

looks great. I also agree that the grille is too black. IMHO looks good only with black wheels. did you paint your mirrors black?

OP, are you getting the chrome black grille from 55Tech? I have that and the chrome appears to be a vinyl or decal and at some points it looks like it is lifting. If I were to do it again, I would have gone all gloss black from a quality point of view. Other brands might be better.

Greatly appreciated!
Will do friend.
I agree, will go back to oem tomorrow until my other one gets here. Single fin with chrome/blk like oem color scheme.
Thank you sir, pm replied btw.
Thanks.
I agree totally on the grill it will be removed tomorrow.
Mirrors are covered with Suvneer cf caps.

Great looking car, man. I love how you pre-empted the inevitable "it needs a drop" comment stream that would've surely followed the original post...

I think the black grill flows very well with ur front lip. Leave it as is, looks good!
P.S U need a drop

To be honest the more I think about it and stuff I think I am going to stick with the grille I have. I love the single fin and I think the black just hides way too much at that spot of the car, if I can put it that way. With a slight chrome accent in the front it almost makes the front end pop a bit more than what the gloss black does I feel. If I had black rims it may be a different case, I do like the gloss black grille as to what it is on it's own but as far as making the front end of the car pop more or stand out more, I think the other does a better job. My goal isn't to make a subtle looking car, it is to have a 'look at me' attention ***** of a car. lol

HAHA, I like the background tbh, but I can see where some may not. Again, no photography skills whatsoever here.
I am just surprised this comment wasn't coming from Ros.......
Haha, I know the way these guys think.
Thank you sir.
At any rate, I agree, she needs a bit of a drop, it isn't terrible as the C63 sits nicely already, but just a little something...

Man I hope my new one is really nice. I get disappointed and will obsess when things don't turn out the way I like - lil finiky...
I really don't want to have to get another one from another vendor.

Thanks again Matt.
Thanks Bro!
I am bailing on the blacked out grill and emblems idea. I have a Single Fin chrome/blk grill coming shortly. I will be leaving the badges as oem. The other ones that I dipped are up for grabs if anyone wants them.
I can leave them dipped or strip them to new. PM me if interested. I will sell them cheap as the Star is OEM, but the rest are aftermarket and there are some minimal differences, that actually can not really be detected now that they are dipped.

WOW!
Car looks great.
Yes. A little drop. Wheels. But i know i remember you writing in another post, your quite happy with these wheels. They do look nice. Have you thought of maybe going to the 18" facelift rims? (if you wanted to keep 18's)
I quite like the all black gloss grille.
Love it overall!

Yeah I understand. My emblems aren't perfect which is why I'm curious. Wish MB sold them in black - I'd even pay dealer prices for them.

Well tbh I am an enormous wheel *****! I know once I start down the road, I wont be able to stop. It is an addiction totally separate from modding in general. I cant explain it.... So if I convince myself that the only wheels I like aer the oem, I should be good...
For now! LOL
I feel confident that my latest ideas best suit my taste.
OEM badges - blacked out window trim - single fin grill (OEM color scheme).
LOL yeah the mirrors are nice, and would be a great addition, but I am content with my oems. lmao
My next thread should include pics of a CF wrapped interior! I know some are totally against wrapping it and love the "real deal", but I personally love the texture provided from the wrap. I like a dry cf look better than gel coated. Plus at the end of the day, I am a cheap sob!
