Great detail job! Are those CL style rims? Also what size are they 18" or 19"! I like that look and still haven't decided on a rim to with the Carlsson suspension I've yet to install. But I really like that look.

Nice looking car thuged out. Did you also lower the car? Also did you paint your calipers or do they have that dull metal look.

Just bought some caliper spay from Pep Boys. I got red & black caliper paint spray and I'm deciding which color will go best with my black '99 E430 sport.
