Are you still angry cause of the way your bumper turned out? LOL
i'm pretty happy with my how my bumper turned out actually. i think it looks pretty sweet and it was relatively cheap as far as custom body work goes... i just don't like ignorant people. especially when they are from my hometown and sound like an idiot. i got injured over the weekend and i'm grouchy about it. plus garfunkle is an easy target.

i just need to get foglights or cut up a couple of vents to go over the foglight covers and i think it will look perfect.

Damn Mark, you got ripped ... well at least on the bumper.

For the price of the front bumper you quoted, I can easily get the authentic AMG Gen II kit.

hint... which I will soon.

I only talk like that to Pham, because he seems to like to talk down to me. What he does not know is I have owned 2 124's and a 201 and I am 17. I may know a bit more about my cars than people think/assume. I may not know about how wide of wheels I can get , but I know how the car works. So long story short I am not trying to offend anyone by talking like a dumbass, but it seems logical since everyone assumes I am.

ignorant is not the same as stupid. root word- to ignore. Ignorant means that you are choosing not to educate yourself.

Think about how many people have contributed to your posts and have tried to educate you. You are demanding the attention of numerous other people to provide you information that is already available to you. That's ignorance.

Nobody's implying you're stupid.

Wait... So, what are you trying to prove? I don't talk down on you - I just put you in your spot like you deserve to be, but don't worry - totally nothing against you.

Also, what does you owning your past cars ... that's even considering if you even did have to do with anything? Parent bought cars don't count nor do scale models. Please note: you HAVE owned those cars. If you feel like showing off or hey maybe even try to compete. I've own two W201 and another W124, but may them rest in peace. Hey, I even drove an W140 during my high school days, but then again - who gives a f*ck what you drive nor what you use to own.

At the rate you're going... it's going to be hard for you to get respect or help from anyone here. So, Good Luck!

Gentlemen, Gentlemen...

Just Saying Garf's name makes my head spin

GARFUNKLE! Say it with me!

GARFUNKLE! GARFUNKLE! GARFUNKLE!

If you say it rapidly, it sounds as if your puking all the while saying the F word.

GARFUNKLE [ GHaR-FAHN-KEL]

Adjective

Henry, after numerous amounts of beer, had no choice but to Garfunkle.

And that, my dear Garf, is my .02 regarding suspensions.

i'm 19 dude. being younger doesn't give you an excuse to be ignorant. if you have something useful to contribute, by all means, please do. if you actually search and still have a question, that's cool, no problem. even compliments are fine. otherwise, shut the hell up. please.

Guys, what do you all think of Sach products?? I went to the local auto zone to see if they carried any quality name brand shocks and the only thing they came up with was SACHS.

anyone have any info on Sachs prodructs?? They were a buck-thirty each, made in GERMANY.

I seriously have no choice but to fix my front left shock absorber, I mean the thing is just sitting there taking up space (or holding up, for that matter) the shock is completely done for. Last week while driving through the wonderful and driver friendly streets of boston I hit a pot hole the size of New Jersey and blew my front left shock now it sounds as if the darned thing's gonna pop out of my hood

I NEED to get front shocks ASAP, input PLEASE!

Nevermind guys

Sachs is good. It's a step down from Bilsteins.

My friend has a complete suspension set up from Sachs on his 16V and it rides great.
