Angelo, trust me when I say 3M has absolutely no issues holding the spoiler down at high speeds;

Track tested mate And the tape comes off clean with a little solvent/bug & tar remover, mine is off right now.

I have 35% tint on my Windshield, front and back windows, 20% rear. Haven't gotten stopped by cops yet in Los Angeles, I'm surprised considering I probably fit the drug dealer profile. lol

That's one clean looking ride Richie, a set of LED tails will freshen the *** end up really well, especially now that you (and about to be hundreds more!) have the mighty V back there.

Haha yep, LED tails will come eventually. I need to decide on what to do about my front height... it's still way too high!

Really? Strange, I wonder how the hell your *** end sags so far lower than mine, especially considering I have a trunk full of audio...? Did you buy the springs new or used? What pads have you got back there?

Looks good Richie.

How do you like your Kenwood nav unit? I'm thinking of swapping out my stock nav unit for an aftermarket one.

Bought them brand new. I think they're supposed to settle a bit more... I've been driving everyday for 2 weeks since installed. Yeah I was looking at your recent pics and your back end isn't as low... Weird... My stock front end, I had a 4 finger gap which I thought was abnormal. I believe I have #2 or #3 spring pads in the rear. I'm thinking about switching it to #1.

I love it. Does everything I need it to do; GPS, bluetooth, USB, movies and of course my Super Nintendo lol. You should definitely get one!

A #4 pad in the rear is going to get you a lot closer to level, that's what I was using until I went with custom rear springs.

Yeah I'm digging that Super Nintendo install .

I've been thinking of getting a unit like yours for a while, I just need to eventually save up and get a unit that has satellite capabilities.
Thought of the dynavin unit but I'm not sure.

PureMB Euro License plate
Carbon Creations Morello CF Grille







Still gotta roll fenders and go a bit lower before Importfest hits

Quick shot of the Satin Silver CLK I shot a few weeks ago.

Nice comparison in the setting sun.

I like that grille, I've been back and forth trying to decide to buy it or not for months now.

I liked the old grille more(in your signature), it flowed better with your mods.
To each their own right

I think that grille would look good with all my CF accents but I'm not sure if I want to lose the Star. The single fin I have is okay but oddly enough, now that the CF hood is on the car, the gap is far more pronounced. I definitely don't want to buy the 'gapless' one either because it has the faux distronic Star.

What to do, what to do
