if you are wondering where my exhaust tips are at, I actually don't have any exhaust at all right now, as the rear bumper of my car did not come out show quality.

I'm having the rear bumper taken off today, and redone. Once it's back on my car at the end of the week, I will have the body shop do the 2 cutouts, so I can put on my custom Eisenman quad exhaust =)

Compare my rear bumper with a stock AMG one, and you'll see that it is a lot more beefy, wider, and lower......hopefully most will think better looking as well =)

That front bumper looks really nice! I can't quite see the details though, can't wait for 'brighter' pics!

Who makes the bumper? The last one I saw of that same design looked bad, but yours is spot on nice!

actually, this is a custom bumper. the top half is my OEM bumper, the bottom half is a W203 amg bumper.

the rear bumper is the same combo.

Just saw the car in person, looks insane.

Even tho the pictures make it look good it is 10x better in person.

And the custom work has great fitment as if it came like that from the factory.

props man
and thanks for the help/suggestions as well.

ps, give me your brakes.

Thanks,

No wonder! It looks way too good to be a replica job.

Does it sound like an old Shelby GT500 w/o the muffler?

Your car is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I like everything you've had done.

When will you be selling your tail lights??? I need to replace the left one for sure, and was thinking about getting the crystal ones, but if you're going to sell yours, I wouldn't mind taking them off your hands. But I don't need anything until my car is out of the shop which could be atleast a week...so when you decide let me know, and thats if no one buys them first!!
