Talking ShangoAshe wins 1st Place at local car event!

Hey guys,

So yesterday I attended a local car event called DTP 2011 (Driven to Perform). It was a first for me to enter my car in any kind of show so the experience alone was quite exciting already.

I was extremely happy to have left the show with 1st prize in Mercedes Show off beating off some new cl63's, e63's, e55's, c63's, g55, and c32's!

One of the cl63 claims to to be pumping 700hp because he has a Kleeman supercharger on it. Numbers are numbers but he wants to run me before the summer. I say... Bring it

Anyways just a couple pictures from yesterday! Can't wait for next weekend when I attend Formula Drift event (Fatlace - Slammed Society). Let's see how I do there

Haha I was very happy to see that the side skirts didn't ride too low compared to the rear bumper so I'm super happy that it still flows. (I'm talking about the body lines)

No way in hell am I every gona get the rear Wald bumper it's just too disgusting! haha

haha I don't man, it's only parked at that height. I raise it back up when I'm driving because there's no way in hell I can move OR turn at that height its pretty much tucking tires... haha

Oh ok!! Do you use a lowering module like from renntech brabus etc?

Or did you just drop it with links or via star and use the abc lift button all the time?

Haha I got them because I wanted to compete in the VIP Category during the show over the weekend.

They are made by Junction Produce a Japanese company. Universal fit and the different sizes are pretty much just the *height* difference for the curtains.

If you ask me, they are a little too pricy but I bought them anyways totally out of impulse. I'll take some pictures to show you when i get the chance!

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the comments. It has definitely been a long road but finally the cosmetics of the car is finally done! Now I just have to finish tweaking the performance aspects and I'm DONE!

but then again... when are we ever done with performance mods...

I just used links! I strongly suggest you try contacting John @ AdjustableAirRide!

When I drive pretty much just with a push of a button i'm lifted to a safe height and parked I dump the hell out of it! haha
