Hmmm nice ... If you don't mind telling, what's the estimate from the body shop?

Also did you post pictures of your quad exhaust here? I might be interested in doing that as well.

Thanks

I've had no spring pads for a while now and everyone on here seems to think it is taboo and crazy when it's fine.

I'm getting an estimate to get my entire car painted flat black since I'm getting fender work done with some new massive lips I'm adding right now to my wheels.

The old rear lip will be added to the front and the new rear lip will go on the rear wheels.

19x9.5 = 3" lip
19x11.5 = 4.5" lip

It should look really crazy to because I will be stretching my tires for that VIP look but on a CLK. I'll be rolling a hybrid style car.
