This is my 3rd grille in 5 years, I am pretty happy with it.. I might spray it the same color as my wheels -- Dark titanium gret metallic.

looks really nice.

are those 5% tints?

car looks really really low

Holy *****! Tell me you're not driving around like that! I've never seen a S-class THAT low. That's probably lower than the lowest a module can go.

Vader55

Thanks, The tint is dark in the back of the car and medium in the front, I am not sure of the %.. I fly around no problem with zero rubbing Newt, It is set as low as it can go. lol And I would like to go for that matter. It is about an inch maybe an inch and 1/2 lower than before which was setup for 20's , which would not work with this setup now. laughs

holy *****. You need to blast Low Rider by War when you tool around town in that whip.

Looks nice! I would love to see it with a silver grille though.

How in the world? I ran 19s (now they're sold) and my car was higher than that and I rubbed when I went over a change in level on the hwy.

My car is white sitting with 5% tint looks about dark as yours. I hate to take it off, it's such a good job. Oh and the A/C blows snowballs in the summer heat, I never thought limo tint would make such a dramatic difference. Guess I'll ride it out as long as I can.

My rear wells are rolled and that that piece of body metal up in the rear wheel well was grinded off when I had the 20x10 - 20x9 setup. I also have the fat-est 275/30/19 tire made on my rears too - the wide-track Nitto extreme. no rubby

I had it pretty low too. but it was rubbing and I didnt want to do fender modification since its my wife's car.

That shxt looks sick. Keep up the mods. Can't wait to see it in that gunmetal color. Haven't seen anyone done it yet.

I think I'm going to have to follow you.

Honestly, I'm not into the non-amg kit, blacked out grill or lowering the S's much .. but I gotta give props, you make this look good.

Don't know if it's the combo, just your car or what, but very nicely done! Oh, rims are tight as f k too.

Happy rollin!

Vader55

Right on guys, Thanks. I bought the paint (dark shadow grey) to spray the front part of the grille ( leaving the inner slats black ) but I am not sure if I wanna ruin this Grille by painting it and then not liking it . any thoughts ?

faithful_lothario

looks good.

schwarz

very nicely done
that ride height is just oh so perfect too...

i think if u paint the grille with the same color as the rims they'd look even better!

DO IT!!

newton22

Too bad you still have the 00-02 hood. I have a 03-06 grill I'm trying to get rid of.

dtxmob

Very Nice! I was thinking about doing the same now that I got an idea on what it looks I'm gonna black it out.

Vader55

Thanks DTX,

I did it ! I painted the front grille dark shadow grey and left the inner slat section matte black, I have to throw another coat or two on it today but it looks prrety good right now. I will post pics tomorrow

Vader55

Here are the pics of the grille painted, I noticed that there is a much better definition to the grille now with outside painted dark shadow grey and the inner slats black. Now it does not look like a black hole and I am very happy with it. If you compare to my pics in the original post you can see the difference.

Looking good . I think it's time to do fenders modification, so I can tuck in my 20's.

zmaster007

Why can the lip be seen underneath your front bumper? The only time I could see that on my car was when I ran over a fox that ripped the undertray apart. That lip should be black

schwarz

once again, very nice!

are going to put more clearcoats on the grille though? the finish looks a bit matte...

Vader55

Thanks schwarz,

No, I wanted the matte look + it will be very easy to re-spray too.

zmaster007,

The black molding piece that fits on that silver nub is missing so that is what your are seeing, I have not replaced it because I am going to add lip spoiler there so I have not bothered to replace it.

fusion2007

hey dubz ur car always looks nice!!! have u considered displaying it at car shows around your area.. you'd have the nicest smoothest and pimpest car..lol

AMG_Mike

hhahaha. wats crackin newton...THATS HOW WE ROLL in the SO CAL! mine is on stock 19s and is pretty low too, the tires are tucked in the fender (depending on how airmatic wants to act that day). no rubbing whats so over also.
