Talking You're gonna have to shoot me Rich!

Its farewell to my 18" Hart Luftdrags........here's some sneek peeks of my new Carlsson 1/16.........nuh, Dronell CD15's, 19", 8.5" ET30FA/9.5" ET35RA + Dunlop SP9000's (still waiting for the hubcaps, so had to photochop some on ).

Lost a bit of the phat lips of the Luftdrag but got a lot more bling

BTW, for those who know me, note that she's now in a new parking lot! :p

Thanks guys.

Yeah Alex, the lot is much cleaner, with a much higher ceiling and more brightly lit.....also lots of Benz's with real Brabus wheels, ranging from Mono IV's to VI's, in single and multi pc versions! But of course, I still have the best looking wheels! Still think these are for bimmers?

The rims are looking sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet Whitey!

I love fat lips on rims...gives the car a more solid and wider stance. the dronnels are hot! Was wanting to go for this look initially, but idea of cleaning the spokes shot down the idea..

keep it up dude! we're all trying to catch up! lol

Alex...thnx for the pics of the RW. Is your car at the shop in Northridge?? Funny, I'm 10 min. away and have passed that area dozens of time...maybe I'll peep your car next time I'm there...sounds cool??

My personal experiences with insurance companies/adjusters are these guys are CLOWNS...they stir up drama and the process gets lag.

Or drop the damn dead body out of the trunk. I think if dave drops the front more he'll need to roll the fenders for sure.

But seriously its probably one of the hottest benzes in HK right now, you guys really have to see it in person.

I wouldn't go that far Tez - no way I can catch up to the ba$tards with unlimited supply of funding..... But yeah, the dead body would have to go, somehow....all the crap saved up from my rides are just getting out of hand - I can almost do a garage sale out of my boot! Anyone want some parts from a miata, E36 or w210? LOL! We'll need to work on yours next dude - I'm done with spending my life savings!

Rich, you're sounding like my kinda guy......:p Unfortunately women here only care about the brand of car you drive, not the amount of mod put into it or even the model, LOL!

Thanks again for all the comps guys! I just hope I don't have to spend much more.....

Nothing a soft sponge and some water can't easily fix I'm sure.....I don't think I can use a brush as it'll scratch up the super polish finish or I'll end up with a brushed look.....

A bit of an overstatement but thanks for the comps anyway. I'm no where near some of the guys here - no brakes, no camber rods, not tower bars, no supercharges or NOS, oh and NO wood/leather steering wheel,dammit!

S, GL, Escalade ESV, my shoes
You spent a small fortune on your car mods, and still have the original taii lights ????

Time to give the rear a new life, that ugly egg shell tail light gotta go sir.

You can find one on eBay (red & smoke) for around $250. I have a red & clear (for 2002 E320) as a spare set, in case you interest.

With the new tail light, you car look better than W211, and will probably one of the coolest Benz in HK.

I wouldn't call getting thru 4 sets of wheels in 5 months a "small fortune" but I beleive in modding things that has the biggest impact first, wheels+suspension, kit then the others but somehow I haven't really moved onto the others after two years!........Guys, I seriously need a self help group - something like "modders or wheels annonymous" (or stop talking to u guys, LOL!)........

Next someone's gonna remind me I need new side mirrors and projectors...damn!

Actually the Japanese ricer look of the cookie cutters kinda grew on me and considering they were half the price of these, they served their purpose at a time when I desperately needed to replace a wrecked set :p

Whatever... price or no price these rims make your car, IMHO. You drive a Benz, not a Keebler mobile!

Those wheels really accent the white paint of your car very nicely.

Nothing much. I had Dynamatted underneath the rear seat, battery area. Helped some in noise reduction.

Been doing little engine mods mainly. It's really too cold to do any thing here.

I want to paint a couple items on my car to bring it to the more modern look. I got a closer look on the front bumper spoiler and noticed it was cracked, so I'd rather replace it. I kinda like this one...



The Brabus lip is sweet too!
