Finally got some Pics!!!

I finally got some pictures, but they aren't that good. Once my trunk spoiler comes in, and I lower the car some more, I will do some better shots. Enjoy!! All comments and opinions welcome!!

I think those wheels are best on the market looks great!

I noticed that you have the Ipod kit, but do you know that you can double the volume level ?

KevinM has a detailed thread on how to achieve this, but I used the headphone jack on my ipod to connect to the Aux input in addition to the ipod kit, then I turned the volume level to Max on my ipod and it boosted my volume level.

I am planning on lowering the car more, but how low do you guys think i should go? I was thinking, one finger or maybe half a finger gap all around??

TIA

That's hot! Very nicely done and way clean. The tires/wheels are awesome (they'd knock the fillings out of my teeth with our awesome New England roads!). Lowering it a bit is a great idea and would finish it off nicely.

check out the link for the ipod fix. It may not be an issue for you, but most people with the ipod kit complain about the volume level being to low. this link will tell you how to fix it.

be careful with the Lowenharts because the are very fragile wheels. Keep the tire pressure up to at least 45lbs, so that they can hold up to pot holes etc.

make sure the six screws on the center cap are tight, I lost 2 because they came loose, and it cost me $25 to buy six more screws from Dazz motorsports.

hope the info helped, and have fun with the ride

Nice whip, I was lookin into the same rims. How long did you wait for your sidemarkers? I ordered mine two weeks ago from evosport and don't even have a tracking #!

The sidemarkers took a really long time...I think a little over three weeks. They have to order the oem mercedes part, then send it out for paint and then they have to make sure the paint came out good, or they send it back to be repainted. Give them a call and have them check the status. I bugged them every week, LOL!!

Nice, cant wait to see what it looks like!!! Thanks, I am still waiting for my trunk spoiler and I am getting new tires in the front, 255, instead of my 245's.

Know anyone that wants to buy 2 Nitto NeoGen 245/30R20 with a couple hundred miles at the most??
