Very clean...you did a great job and getting it lowered will only make it look that much better.

Baleron

the rims are looking sexy, now go slam the car!!!

berti_00

looking good and clean bro... very nice

ShanMan

lol...these guys are allergic to stock ride height! BTW: how low are you going with that beauty? Speaking of lowering and spring compressors....mine showed up today. Looks to be a very well made tool....even if it is from China (and that hurts me deeply to say). Mine should be lowered no later than Monday!

Oh yeah, you need to drop the avantegarde grill in there to really finish it off right IMO.

Them rims is HOT!!!

Where did you get the wheels? Looks good

childofjuly

thanks everyone! haha.. i know but i must also say it'll look better once its dropped... but i'm going with H&R V8 springs and bilstein sports.. looking for that 1.5" front and rear drop with the stock pads (i like it low but not slammed) ofcorse got new strut mounts, sportline strut bump, amg strut spacer and fender spacers and a K-mac rear camber kit (planning on install the whole kit)... (AMGDave, Thank you for all of your help/input ) now as for that spring compresser.. if you would like to sale or rent yours after u use them i would love to take them off of your hands! are you doing your drop yourself or shop? if you're doing them by yourself it'll be nice if you can take some pix!! anyways, heres some pix...



oh yeah and that grill you're talking about...i already got it!



some additional pix of the stuff i've ordered.. smoked projector headlights, smoked LED tail lights, new Tsx projector, ballast, D2R bulbs, xenon computer warning canceller.. so i'll be staying busy over the christmas brake to fit them in the headlights..

You need D2S bulbs for the projectors, D2R are for reflector type of headlights...wait from the picture it looks like u have D2S nevermind..

childofjuly

thanks man! i got them used from a friend.

childofjuly

yes i do have the d2s sorry about that..

YNVDIZW124

Nice shopping list you have there, are you going to color match the lower cladding too?

ShanMan

Nice pile-o-goodies my friend. Looks like you will have a busy Christmas break indeed! As for the spring compressor. I plan to do all the work myself...should be pretty easy for the most part...especially with the right tools like the compressor, etc.

I am thinking that either renting it (through PayPal) or selling it outright is a definite possibility. Hit me up with a PM and we can work out the details if you still need one by Tuesday, OK?

I might give you a great rental price if you help me with your headlight setup, which by the looks of it is EXACTLY what I was planning!

I have to ask: what's up with the gold plated hood star???

BrabusBenz300E

great choice in rims

childofjuly

thanks man, yeah i really want to because i think it updates the look of the car, but i'm torn between the gen 2 and the wald ex kit... so untill i make up my mind and buy it the lower probably will stay stock..

FCSmthree

Let me know if you will be getting rid of your stock headlights, I'd be very interested........see sig

where did you buy the grill from, and how much??

btw, the upgrades to ur ride will make it look real sweet.

childofjuly

yeah man, either way its cool as long as i can get my hands on them, and paypal be good to go as well... as for the headlight setup i was planning on doing a D.I.Y. write up with photos so anyone that wants to do them could use it as reference. (cant promise it'll be a good one because it'll be my first photo blog, but i'll try my best!) and it would be nice if you would consider doing the same for the suspension drop.. (hint.. i really want to see if its that hard to attempt the job myself... it'll be nice to be able to save some money for the kit!

and now the funny part about the gold star... actually the car also sports an gold rear trunk star (i tried to avoid it in the pictures ) for some odd reason back when i first got the car i wanted to black the car out ( 5% tint, powdercoat grill, wheels and paint all the crome strips and trims to black) and just have the hood and trunk stars gold... just thought it'll be something different, but have changed my mind..

ZedStyle

beautiful wheels, and i'm loving the coming updates! keep posting new pics as you work on it...

The b4stard child of Enzo....I don't remember seeing my car breed, yet........LOL

Nice stuff, seems rather familiar....I don't know why you got a "xenon computer canceller" or whatever though. Our cars don't have computers for that.

childofjuly

thanks, but... yeah, call it what you want to.. i got the "xenon computer cancerller" while i was browsing.. it said its for w124 cars.. oh well.. better be safe than sorry, but thanks for the heads up! besides, its only like $20 something..

ZorroAMG

LOL gimmicks, gotta love em. You definitely don't need it...I have installed 2 sets of HIDs without em.
