Here are some new pics I took today with the CF license plate cover and the CF door handle surrounds installed. I also have the CF mirror covers I will be trying on in a couple days.

damn i didnt know that cf license plate cover looks really good when it installed...gotta have that...do they still have Wes ?

Yea just purchase it off their website. It's a PITA to put it on. I took off that piece of the trunk to make it easier.

dyno... your setup is amazing!! in fact im copying you now:p im going to do this on my 550 within the next 1 1/2 mnth. how will this sound on a 550?

Thanks, this setup on a 550 would be CRAZY! You might need to do something to silence it a bit, depending on your taste. That would be awesome to hear.

i like the growling sound. very deep like its ready tear something up!! id appreciate if you could let me know which parts i need. and also how much power will i lose? i do plan on doing an ecu flash with speed tuning soon though..not sure if that matters

thanx bro

??? LOL.

Andy

I would wait on the tune until the exhaust work is done. I might be going down to TVTDesign and getting it re-tuned and dyno'd after a couple hundred miles. I will send you a list or the parts tomorrow.


My bad, I thought you knew the company. It's Is-Performance (http://www.is-performance.com/MBZ%20...erformance.htm)

Thank you sir.

Andy

No Prob.

hey dynomite, car looks fantastic. love the exhaust setup, love the tails, love the rear end...but imo, i think it looked better without the CF license plate cover, but still looks good nonetheless.

keep up the good work, you're an inspiration to all w209 owners

ur the best dyno thanx

The CF plate surround works well on your silver car with the CF spoiler and diffuser pal, I thought it might look a bit weighted but it doesn't at all. CF door handle surrounds, not sure yet but I bet they'll mesh up very nicely with the mirror covers. Regardless of anyones comments or thoughts, positive or negative - fantastic effort dude, I really admire it.

Thank you guys. I know it's not to everyones taste, but I love CF!

This would make a great shot with a camera Wes (I presume you were using a mobile phone), all the CF meshes really well in this pic.

That sig of yours has sure had a workout the last few months, more updates than Cher!

lol, I was thinking the same thing while taking it. Would be nice if you could see the detail in the CF.

I'll ship you my new camera and you can do a nice photoshoot this weekend for all your 209 MBWorld brothers!

Photo shoot is coming soon. Hopefully by the end of the year.

Very nice job, keep up the good work. I like your CF theme.

Thanks you sir.

Edit:

I was thinking of painting my tips flat black. Opinions?

I do not think they'll look good, and it'll also "hide" them.

True, my worry was that they would blend into the diffuser.

If the ballot is for President Obama and Vice President Flat Black Tips, I vote NO! Not saying that you should stay polished because you're whole theme is CF/silver/black, I would vote for satin black, aka, semi gloss or gloss black. That would be 'hot' right Paris? Sorry, that's soooo 2007, the new phrase is 'so huge'.

I mean, do you even need the tips to vote no? lol.. Gloss black sounds interesting.
