You didn't do too much....and the wheels and drop are just right.
Very nice work.

funny - I was going to say the FRONT needs to come UP a little more, then it's perfect (I'm not a big rake / slammed fan sowwy)

8-)

enjoy, regardless

I just got mine lowered 'some' - needs a C-hair (redheaded) more IMO, my 5spoke snows are on, and smoked front corners and v12biturbo side scripts just came in... will get pics up soon 8-)

hey thanks gang! yeah i got the windows tinted at "Daddys tint & alarm" on huebner, i havent done much to the car, ive thought about a lowering module but im starting to feel i should upgrade and go for a s55/600 with ext. warrany or maybe a loaded s500 and stop the spending.

its still up in the air right now and i have about 3-4 months left here in texas til i "migrate" back to seattle wa, time will right now but we'll see!!

I'm sad to see everyone say that. I loved my 220. I had 04 with 96k on it when I sold it and it was just fine. No issues. I guess I was lucky.

P.s.
Classy, i Love those wheels. Looks great. I'm thinking of getting a set like that for mine as well.

hey thanks guys, yeah i came to realize that ive been a bit over-excited with my options - i ask myself, "hey what did the car do wrong?"

its still running smooth and honestly i think i just need a wood wheel, just 1 more add-on to make things exciting again..

just a steering wheel, then im done!!!

yeah dude that's the first thing I got for mine is a wood wheel makes the interior look much better and feels cool when driving. I would keep your car unless you want to buy something newer like w221 but buying a w220 s600 would just be pointless. I know its a whole different car driving wise but but still the same old look of the w220. Don't get me wrong I love the way our cars look and the way they drive but I would not buy another one after this I would go for w221
