BEFORE





AFTER













I am very happy with how the car looks. The wheels are sitting perfectly on the car. I am still running 10mm spacers up front (8's) and 15mm in the rear (9.5's)

All comments welcome.

The exaust is on straight i think it is just a shadow. I left the stock exhaust piping. No need to get rid of good 3in mandrel bent piping. I swapped the stock muffler for an IMCO four chamber muffler (similiar to a Flowmaster) and i added some Magnaflow stainless steel tips.

i feel you on the tint but i hate tint. i have awful night vision and tint makes it worse. plus the whole idea is to be seen. i also never got into the clear corners. too JDM for me really.

i appreciate the props though. i have a little bit of rubbing i need to sort out but it is minor at best. i will probably have to raise the car up just a little or run a little thinner spacer in the rear. i will be working on that tomorrow.

it looks boss going down the road fo' sho'

Looks great. Are those the Rays 2 piece rims?

btw you should get clear sidemarkers or have them painted silver.

i have lowered the car more than two inches. 19x8 up front with a 10mm spacer and 19x9.5 out back with a 15mm spacer. The wheels are Rays Master Piece (Rays Engineering) DIA 106, two piece (cast center and forged rim). i have a little rubbing on the rear so i am either going to have to roll the fenders or i am going to have to go with a little bit smaller spacer. i really dont want to buy a fender roller. although you can rent them for about $50 bucks and DIY. rollyourfenders.com rents a kit that includes all the necessary hardware and a heat gun. i will know tomorrow if i will be rolling the fenders. for now i might just have to raise the car up a little

i figured you guys got the point. she is pretty damn low. sometimes it is hard to tell how low a car is without a point of reference.

i posted these pics in a VW forum and some jerk actually posted something along the lines of why are you parked in a handicapped spot when you can probably walk. to prevent that kind of ignorance here i am a paraplegic. i have been for ten years.

boosted you know exactly what i am talking about then. my car actually got keyed in a parking lot a month or so ago. i am sure it was someone who saw the car and thought, " look at this bum parking in an accessible spot!" what they dont understand is that the proximity to the building is not what is important to us. it is more about being able to open the door wide enough to get into the car. wheelchairs are wide and can be bulky. i will PM you my number. we should definitely talk.

Good to see you sincity. What forum do you normally hang it in? C class?

I have been very impressed with the Rays. My rear tire size is 255/35/19. I am running a 15mm spacer and i am rubbing a little. Taking the car in soon for a little fender work in the rear. so right now i am running a 10mm spacer on a 9.5 inch wheel. i know 5mm doesnt sound like a big deal but i can tell.

i would love to have some HID's but i bet they are hella expensive.

Here are the only side view pics i have.

Bela you had first had experience with the kind of jerks i am talking about just the other day on mbworld. maturity and respect are gone and forgotten. all these kids are experts and are only interested in one-upping each other.

i should post the link so you guys could see the BS these guys posted. straight hating on my AMG is most cases, misinformation, ignorance it was all there. not trying to turn this into a social commentary or anything but in some cases these guys just dont have a clue when it comes to adult behavior. it is silly if you really think about. they know it is the internet so the repurcussions of their actions will most likely be minimial.
