Yeah, I wish I could say the look for of my car is original, but I'm afraid monoblocks replicas, H&R's on a smoke silver coupe have been done before. I love my car nontheless!

I will say they look damn good to me. Unless you have a poster of the Genuine Mono V's above your bed intead of a girly poster, you can't really tell the difference. (I ordered enuine Brabus center caps though to complete the ensemble) The MB stars kind of ruin the look.


BTW, I am not posting pictures until the pollen clears up here in Atlanta. Lame excuse, I know, but I want to re-wax it before I put it online. As it sits, it looks like it has green mold all over it, and I refuse to wash it while the trees are still sperming. Sorry guys, especially you, Matt .

Garfunkle, I've never been to Atlanta. But it sounds aweful, assuming the pollen issue is as bad as you say it is!

I live in ATL and work all over the world. I travel 5 days a week. When I am home I usually only drive about 20 miles a week. My car is half gold (half my paint is gone).
