Update with my car
well ive been working on my car since I plan on keeping it a while and its been paid off for a few years now and hasn't given me any problems, this is what it looked like when I got it in Jan '06, I quickly tinted it and updated the lights. I then added 19's rims

But I digress. The car looks nice 02s. I have to ask...are you missing the chrome trim at the top of the bumper cover? Will the trim from the orig bumper not fit? The AMG treatment is definitely sweeter than the original groundwork. Very nice stuff. Did you lower it a bit also?

Is this English? Why is it when I read this I am reading with a Eastern European accent?

Chris,
Works done amazingly well. Looks really beautiful.
Really want the AMG brakes, soooooo sweet.
Here is a question from my daughter: why there is a diaper on the rear bumper, the black thing in the last picture?

Parallel parking in NYC is brutal on a cars bumper, it protects from scratches from people that have no depth perception and hit your bumper to Measure distance to fit in to a spot.

i didnt notice it till it was mentioned, the diaper is a great idea. i am a MB purist and im rarely impressed by "mods". your work is "factory" in appearance and the car looks beautiful. even the wheels have good taste and dont reak of Rap star recognition. im sure when people see it on the road the little voice in their head says "i want one of those someday"!

Nice look! Wheels look to be nicely tucked into wells. I may have missed it earlier but what is the brand of wheel and offsets front and rear.

He man i just saw this car while at work. I drive the city bus and passed by it parked eith its diaper on. Only kidding. These pics does it no justice. Car is beautiful i stood for 2 red lights to check it out, the passengers didnt mind at all. The car is niceand good job fixing it up. Well back to work, another round trip from va hospital.
