Oh man, she looks terrifying. Nice job. I'm thinking she may have outgrown her hood star though. I have a little black badge that covers the hole I'd you want it. It has a little AMG logo on it but I got it because it's mostly black and matches the car. Let me know. I have the address.
Yeah I will be glad to have! But hey one question where in the world is rear link to change on my car lol I know where the front one is but I seem to not see the rear one is it on the passenger side?

I believe it's over the rear diff. Also, the link adjustment moves in the opposite way than the fronts did. I think the fronts go lower the longer they are. The rear you shorten to go lower. Remember to drive around a bit to get the system to self adjust. Once you settle on a height, get an alignment.
So I put the links on the front not really even sure if I need to do the rear. I don't think the front came down but about a half inch. What do you guys think lower on the front and do the rear or keep it just like it is? Pics attached

So today I took the Becker Exhaust to a guy here in town that is very well know in the exhaust business and does a lot of custom work. He is going to take my tips that I currently have and put them on the Becker exhaust. I have to drop the car of Tuesday and I will update pics when he is done. Don't know how he will do it but he says he can do it. Keep you posted on how it works out.
Yeah I think that's doable. Those guys can cut and weld that stuff like its nothing. It's going to be loud. If it's too much, there's room north of the rear suspension to install a couple of in line resonators. Still a lot of great rumble but it takes the edge off. Otherwise your wife might refuse to ride in it.
The car looks sick bro! How much did you spend on the kit?
$1400 for the Front Bumper, Rear Bumper, Sides Skirts, & Grill.
$235 Muffler Tips
$1475 Full Removal of old parts, Paint, & Install.
$175 Lowering Links
$100 Calipers Stripped and Painted
$8 vinyl decals for CALIPERS
Prior Upgrades:
22" Niche Milan Wheels and Tires w/TMPS shipped Balnced ready to mount.
$2,000
2010 Rear Tail Lights
$350
I have wanted an S Class since the w220 Body style in 99. Even if my car is an 07 it is a head turner everywhere and the fact that most people have no clue what year it is makes it even better.
I love the look of the car and love driving it.

Thanks Mike for the Exhaust... I took it out in the drive way with some rim cleaner with a SOS Pad/Brillo style and pressure washed it. Dried it up with a towel and hit it with some Billet wheel type cotton like polish then BOOM! Like new! Tuesday I should have them installed with current tips I have on the car. I will post pics when I get them installed. Thanks again to Mike-
So here is the exhaust (courtesy of my main man Mike) with the New Style Tips I got from Gary. The sound is perfect, has a mean rumble when I press the gas and still quiet inside but you can now hear a small meaner sound but if the air is on or music is up you hear nothing. Which is the perfect sound of what I wanted. Also now the pipes are perfectly straight. The exhaust shop literally split them and perfectly aligned them I have a before and after below of how they are now STRAIGHT.
Nice! The sound totally changes the car, right? Glad I hadn't gotten around to tossing those things out!
Your shop did a great job. Now, about that audio system...
Yes it's totally different. I feel like it just grew some ***** on it to be honest! Yes the sound system is definitely the next project. The mirrors are in the mix as well...thanks for all your help your an asset to this forum hands down!!!!

Congrats, the body shop and muffler install looks factory perfect! They did an amazing job with it all,the car looks great! Although I must say I'm not a fan of 22's anymore, I do like your wheel choice. IMO it would look even sicker with AMG Wheels.
