These projectors got me thinking after I was chased all the way from ATL to Greenville by a CLK63 Black Series a couple weeks ago.

The factory projectors on that thing were menacing - though the front spoiler and flared bodywork could have had something to do with it too.

Ya I have seen it and it pretty sad!! All I could do after watching it was shake my head and say that he should stick to modeling or rim making course I don't know what the rims that he designs look like.

Course then that would mean the one that Chappy saw couldn't have been him if the guy was just driving straight!

Williams said that he has stock HID and they will work, so I have put my name on the list. I can't wait to see this on someone's car that has the big fogs with angel eyes in them. That's a whole lot of halos...

I also think that someone with the modded new AMG front with double fogs with angel eyes would look sick, but that's just me. Then again it could be WAY to many halos. Maybe that's a Photoshop job to find out.

I'm in on these for $300-ish. Anymore than that and it isn't a group buy.... It's a "muliple purchase".

I haven't asked....I'm usually reluctant to drive other people's cars. That's especially true in this case as I don't have a spare $140K to hand over in case I wrecked it.

However, I did get a ride on track during some fast laps.

Gentlemen (and ladies?), I have been away for so long. I apologize if this is redundant but back when i was regularly logging on, headlights were a big issue because everybody seem(ed) to be having the hazing issue.
I also know a lot of you are heavy modders and looking at pics today of some of your whips, well, frankly, I'm embarrassed *LOL*. But today I got an email informing me of new MB parts. They had the regular (halogen) replacement headlight assemblies. $282 for the driver's side and $300 for the passenger side...$600 total.

There are also some Hella's on there. This is FYI and again, i apologize if it's redundant or already been posted somewhere. I've been away for over 6 months.
