thanks everyone, I am pretty much done with the exterior....had it done a while back but never had time to put up the pics.
the rims size is 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 i think. those are the lexion 203's, I like how flat the blades of the star are on these, and the ratio of the thickness, others i've seen are either too thin, curve too much, too thick, etc....only thing i may have change is probably getting the diamond cut finish instead, but the silver finish matches the car.
heres another series of pics.

hey bklynbenz, i wish i responded to your amg exhaust offer sooner...ended up spending more on this, and the first shop i took it too did a hack job installing it...then took it to a shop that specializes in after market exhaust, and had them repipe the hole thing....cuz it was sticking out by like 8 inchess out of the bumper....now its just right, sticks out long enough to barely see the AMG logo.
anyways hope everyone enjoys the second series....
hey ricky....u know u like it

Thanks Dave, I like yours too....I finally gave in and bought Bruce's kit after a year of debating, and losing $400 to Frappe who scammed me and never sent the front RS bumper.

Nice ride! 
Now get a BBK.
Btw your original paintwork looks more shiny than your carlsson kit paintwork. looks a bit matt in the pics. maybe its just the lighting.

the muffler shop is advance muffler and auto services(in pasadena on walnut a few blocks east of lake. their number is 626-793-5656), they cut it back out repiped the whole section rite up to the exhaust box, labor and piping was $80 total, after a lil bargaining. the other places that ****ed it up was bluetone muffler in rosemead, they charged $45.
blackbenzz, thanks man....silver is definitely a mercedes classic color, along with black and white.

Looks good dude. Reminds me of my ride. Same exact kit.
Do you have any problems with cops harrassing you regarding not having the cali plate on. I used to get stopped every once in a while when i lived in LA.

So far no problems with the plate, but its probably cuz i dont drive this car much since I work in West Hill/Anaheim Hills and live in Alhambra,butI got hit up everytime with my Accord back in the day. Nice job with your car derek, very similar to mine.
I think bruce got his front bumper at Evomotorsport? or EF1 ? dont remember

haters crazy
Hey Bruce, is that an original Carlsson RS front bumper? I didnt know evosport dealt with replicas. Anyways, did it fit without major modifications? Mine fits like crap and I'm deciding whether to try and get it to fit better or just start off with a fresh better fittin bumper and work with that.
