Thanks Alain @ Modular-Concepts for the excellent work creating the custom Artic White coded hoops.

Alain is doing a super-special for all board members, I took advantage of that.

I would contact him directly - He's a member.

I also saw a brushed face on a black lip on a black car that was sick too. By the way, this style really makes your calipers pop. Much more open then what I had previously. This is a especially a great look for AMG and BBK.

Match the lip to the car and you cant go wrong.

I think this is one of the very very few MB's that can pull off the color matched lip..Looks great, I'm sure even better in person.

um, no

Modular Concepts M-1

The wheels are top quality, using very nice hardware. Look at the close up. Even the valve stem unit is top notch. Notice also the ball edging, even HRE mesh's and Uberballers dont have that detail.

Heres a far better close up of another set...

What had me on day one was the way the wheel and the big brakes work together. A very performance oriented look, yet works well with the CL class.

Car looks awesome, but get a real camera. This car always gets cleaner and cleaner, but the pics get worse and worse.

I like the car. What next?

I'm thinking these pics are actually my best work and you shoot it down....

It's really hard to get wheel detail with black wheels. I am guessing the only way to get them to pop like they do in person is to use ambient lighting to truly illuminate the details of the wheels. I agree in that as far as the wheels go, certain shots are tough to see.

1st, use a real camera. Camera phones have weird looking pics in most casses.
2nd, Photobucket and then put it up.

Sorry, I just skimmed through it, and I thought it said " learning to use my camera phone". My bad.

In this pic, it looks fuzzy. The white looks sort of weird. Some of the other ones also. I dont know if its the camera, the site, or my screen. Did you try photobucket yet?

Yup, that was dumb of me. Anyways, I think you might just have the cleanest CL in Nor-cal at the moment.

you have a good eye my friend...

This is a $500 tint job from the tint guru in Livermore CA.

If you run a Google search, he is the best in California. He uses Ceramic Tint with a Lifetime guarantee and one free tear replacement.

He removes the rear panels and tints all the way down the window. It takes him 7 hours to tint one car.

He is awesome at his craft.

ceramic tint? do you feel any heat inside? what are the advantages of getting a ceramic tint? all I know (correct me pls. if I'm wrong) it contains a thin metallic layer which I don't know what its called but sure is helps the car's interior to be cooler since it really block the heat out of the car.
