What in the flip have you done? You've lost your freakin mind!!! I'm really J/K. I freakin love it!! How are the seems in the door jams, hood and trunk though? did they do ok in that area? 2 things you need now. Orange calipers and an orange stripe on outer rim lip. And people think I have guts for what I've done, lol. I have to commend you Hyp for doing things that others want to do but just won't. I wish you lived closer to me, we would get a long really well!!

lol, thanx RNBRAD, I've always sensed we'd get on well..
there are seams......and some people mentioned how lame it was/is, and I agree, the guy that was supposed to show up with my star badge never showed!!
what a butthole....
I have considered the cali's and the orange stripe actually sounds cool, have not considered that........might have to do it....
the cali's would REALLY look good.....and tint.....and like RR said, a drop too......but I'm scared lol....

thanx for the comment

Scared to drop,, Yeah, I don't think so. You just turned your black Benz into a orange one, thats pretty ballzee..lol Hype, the Renntech module I have is so easy and it has settings that you can adjust the speed for when you want your car to return to factory height. So I keep mine slammed for around town, but I have it set at 55mph for when I get onto a highway and the car raises right back to stock height on its own. Then off the highway the bags dump and its slammed again, this is why I went that route instead of links. I love it. Btw, I can't stop staring at your car in the pics, so cool.

believe it or not, yeah, it's one thing to slap a huge sticker on one's car, another to go fooling with the suspention; and even though they're tried and true, I honestly would be wigged out by it...I do admire slammed cars fir the look, just question the longevity of the components in marrige with the car itself....
I am enjoying the color though....despite the fact that a couple of people told me some of the panels looked to be different in color

Sweet! What I would personally do to make it even better.. the black side markers and headlight washer caps make orange. Also a very cheap "mod" your turn signals in your head lights, go with stealth bulbs.. they wont be orange looking, looks much cleaner.. would paint the headlight housing black, and tint the tail lights leaving just the white strip in the center.. Perfection! You went this far, go all out!

will i wrap my car like this? maybe not .
is it stupid? hell, no !

people have black cars might think white cars are stupid. no character.
people have white cars might think black cars are stupid. hard to keep them clean.
they all might think gray/silver cars are stupid just because they are all over.
i can go on an on. color is a personal preference and i'm not trying to start a debate here. like what hype said, you are entitled to your opinions. kudos to your classy response, hype .

I think you're f****ng crazy....

.... and that's a compliment.

I saw a matte white W212 drive by me the other day. IMO, matte suits the W212 SO well since it really accentuates how hard and sharp and "flexed" the sheetmetal is. It really makes the car look like a rolling angular diamond. It shows off how "stressed" the sheetmetal is.

If I was keeping my car for the long haul, I'd wrap it in matte white and be insanely stoked on it.

Im a big fan of matte grey/gun metal, but anything in a matte color is soo damn hard to keep clean.

and you need three LOL again!
