Haha Thanks man! My brother told me I should make a little flash website and sell random stuff I make in my free time too ! I might actually look into it, I'll let you know on the spider lol.
Side question- Does anyone have the rear camber negativity in degrees when lowered on eibach's? It would be on an alignment sheet if someone has one laying around.

Oh yea, I understand the whole camber kit thing I just want to see if it is actually enough of a negative camber to justify a camber kit.
Wes, Iphone jacked up the white balance right when I took it haha.

See I'm kind of digging the all clear and chrome front/mirrors. If I tinted the side markers then I would also have to tint the mirrors to match. I just don't want it to look like there's too much going on you know?
Appreciate it though!

I have always disliked convertibles because of how ugly they look with the top up. I must say that your top goes perfect with the theme of your car. One of the first verts I have liked with the top up. lol

True his black top look amazing with the black wheels. I see black CLK with a tan top or red CLK with tan top and it just doesnt look right.
Black top ftw
