Better pictures later, I promise. The weather is horrible and a storm is headed this way. I plan to lower the car further as well, but I don't know if that's practical.

That's badass.

You should get new headlights, led signal mirrors, facelift version hood, and AMG bumpers.

I don't know, I think I may be the only person who likes pre-facelift headlights and tails and signal mirrors. They have that old school look that remind of the 90s (I like 90s cars )

They're staggered. 8.5/235s front and 9.5/265 rears.

I like the pre-facelift tail lights. For some reason, imo, it's classier than the facelift ones.

I still behind the new hood and front bumper though. They just look so out of place with the new wheels.

Awesome. Those wheels do an excellent job of blending with the car.

235/35 and 265/30. IMO, the sidewalls are too small for this car, the only thing not satisfying me right now.

Thanks for the compliments.

You're right they are a tad small. Should be 245/40 and 275/35 for that car in a 19". But overall it looks good though.

Well done. I like it. I agree with benznodubs, lower it a little bit more.

did you have to use any wheel spacers for the rear or they just bolt on?

Ok newton, I noticed the orange/yellow signal bulb glowing in your headlamps in your pic ? Put these silverstar bulbs in and you will have that nice whited out look in the day and a very cool Crisp, Clean, Style orange at night.

00 S430 takes a 1156AST

03 style projectors takes a 7507AST

Honestly, I like the ride better. I prefer the sporty feel. Car feels more sticky to the ground.
