i might hold off on the brake kit for a month so i can get the cf hood, camber arm done right-a-away..... it's either that or BB kit and the camber......but i have a plan for the Cf hood and it should look tight once i'm done..........
btw i want a black hood emblem, what should i get??? carlsson, lorinser, they don;'t have amg in black....???thing of going with carlsson........

A CF hood on a white car is borderline import-rice imho, unless tastefully done which I'm sure you've planned ahead.
Dave's pix of the AMG hood emblem is total hotness..get that playa to hook U up!

Sean's Sister--
In regards to the Stoptech's...I've seen the black w/white lettering/logo, it's a subtle statement but racey looking; the silver w/either black or white logo would match up well with your ride...I tend to like the yellow in combo w/ brush aluminum or chrome...regardless, it's a show stopper!
yeah your write, but since i'm throwing it on i rather get something that sticks out, might as well so i think i'm going with the yellow ones with black writing. richard i'll send you a pic of what it will look like......

I like that, "borderline rice" kinda like a good substitute for "its ricey but since you're my firend I respect your decision, so I won't descourage you too much".......
But I agree, however you put it - never liked it on the white ricers either.
Yeah, the badge looks real tight and it would be exactly what I'd have if ever I go starless. Here's some closer shots of the colored one (so i can take on less pic):

Re: ***Alrighty, real sneak peak of A Diddy's Ride
[/B][/QUOTE]Hey Alex, your car look really clean! Nice subtle touches.
I recall that the body shop had to modify some bracket(s) for the headlights??? Could be wrong, just going by memory. But in the top pic with the lights on, seems like the lo-beams are riding a little high and the hi-eams a little to low. Maybe it is just the angle of the photo. With the lights off, the mounting position look okay. I had a white '94 540, the previous owner hit something, one of the fender panels showed always showed a little more "gap" than the others. White colored cars really show off panel alignment issues.
