Heres a few pics... Had it over 2 years now... Only mods i have are the Carbon fiber front lip, sprint booster, and 19" HRE wheels. Question... I live in NYC.. i want to leave the wheels on for the winter... the car will not see salt b/c it is not a daily driver... but a lot of dirt and grim will be on the Brushed aluminum wheels for sometime between washings... Should i stop being lazy and take em off or is it possible for them to be stained if i leave them on?

why not just get a set of cheap winter rims and save yourself the risk of damaging those awesome wheels?

I have the 5.5 fender badge on it... yea i still have the factory wheels... but i love the look so much i dont even want to take em off for the winter.

stop being lazy and put your stock ones on for winter. youll hate yourself if they do get messed up from winter!

ey man I just ordered 19" iforged
these pics just get me way more stoked!
does having the lip force you to go sideways
over speed bumps and dips?
buy winter rims.

How did you get the hood emblem on?

That's really stock height?

Tell me if i'm wrong but it looks like he has coilovers?

Stiggs

He's claiming in this thread its stock.

Looks lowered to me.

lychyrychy

Yeah I agree. The front should look lower stock or lowering springs. Coilovers fix the gap issue.

How do you get the AMG emblem on?

Kevman05

The ride is stock height.
No i do not have to go sideways with the lip.. even in NYC
The emblem was made for i think the S or watever... it arrived with the spring and everything..i dremeled the back off and sanded it flat and attached with 3m stick tape.

sick wheels. Wash them before you put the car away for the winter and just get a car cover.

i know it is your car but there is no way that is stock height. 55's with 19's at stock height have almost a 2in wheel gap. nice looking car but it is either riding on aftermarket springs or coilovers.

Kevman05

when i take the wheels off in a month or 2 i'll take pics of the springs, and revive the thread...

what is a sprint booster

lychyrychy

take it to a tire shop and have it on a lift with the tires off and take pictures of the springs, we'll be the judge for ya

Ah that is a very interesting question. it boosts your immune system to prevent you from breaking your own neck in the "petal to the metal" situations.
